A Victorian-style post box has been unveiled in Vale Park, New Brighton.
The replica box was created with a 3D printer by Vale Park Volunteers 2026 and features crocheted toppers that will change with the seasons.
Julie, the group's secretary and a keen knitter, makes the toppers. The first marked Halloween; the latest marks Remembrance.
She said: "This is a small project, but it gives people a taste of what is to come in the park. We knew it would bring a lot of enjoyment to visitors and the response so far has been fantastic."
Julie previously made toppers for a post box on Seabank Road, but some were vandalised. The Vale Park box sits behind a fence with CCTV cover.
The group formed earlier this year and worked with Wirral Council on the project. The post box joins the park's Fairy Garden and Robot Village.
Diana, also a group secretary, said money raised will be reinvested in the park. "We have lots more plans for Vale Park."
Vale Park's bandstand centenary events were among recent community celebrations in New Brighton.
Wallasey's Remembrance Sunday parade also gathered near New Brighton before marching to the Magazines Promenade war memorial – details were in our Remembrance guide.
Volunteers say the box is a small sign of bigger plans for the park.
