J. Bibby and Sons, a cattle food manufacturer bought the estate, and established an experimental poultry and cattle foods farm.

The company developed the park as a Centre for sport and recreation.
Football, tennis, bowls and cricket became familiar sights around the park while the hall was used for ballroom dances, billiards and other social activities.

Recreation continued alongside a printing business, which was established in the grounds in 1923.

From the late 40's Liverpool Pembroke, an Athletic and Cycle Club also used Court Hey Park as a base until redevelopment forced them to move in the 1960's.

In 1946, the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Foods used part of the park as a Quarantine station and the old stable block was altered to created separate stalls for the animals - some of which were at one stage bound for Billy Smart's Circus. A newspaper article mentions that some of the bulls were worth between £10,000 to £15,000.

Eventually the once grand hall fell into disrepair and in 1951 Bibby's sold the estate to Huyton-with-Roby Council.

The hall was demolished in August 1955.

Part of the land near to Roby road was sold to Vernon’s Pools.

A housing estate which is now called Grangewood/High Beeches Estate was built on the original Vernons site. The original entrance to the Vernon’s factory runs alongside the Eastern side of the estate which is now sealed.

Now we are left with a jewel which holds memories of long ago such as the original stables, the walled garden and the stone sleepers, which remind us of the Liverpool-Manchester Railway and the Rocket 150 years ago.

All of the original stable buildings were renovated and sections of the original walled garden were used as part of the National Wildflower Centre in 1997 - in 2000 the main Visitor building was opened.

The Friends of Court Hey Park are now based in the stable block.
