There was a rifle club in Birkenhead next to the pool, but the following from a council talkfest regarding future development

36. Some park user groups will not find their specific needs met within the masterplan. The affected groups are:

· Birkenhead Rifle Club: this group has not been present on the park for three years, and the new multi-use sport facility is unlikely to contain enough space to provide dedicated indoor shooting areas.

No surprises there, I suppose
