Neighbourhood
Residential area with lots of stores, cafes, curry house, take aways, chipys, waffle house, pubs, supermarkets, late night convenience store, beauty salons/barbers and pharmacists, most of which are pretty much 'on the doorstep'.
Near by is the 'New Mersey' retail park with many large retail outlets, restaurants and a cinema.
There is also a large park field a couple of minutes walk away with outdoor exercise equipment, 5-a-side and an indoor gym & swimming pool with slide, sauna/steam room, jacuzzi and indoor badminton hall.
Note: Search online for 'Liverpool lifestyles gym Garston timetable' for times and classes.
Note: The local area is considered safe but there may be the odd rowdy drinker or group of youths on the high street, more so at night, thus I recommend being accompanied with your guest traveller.
If you're travelling alone or even as a pair the host is more than happy to chaperone you around the localised area should you like and providing they're free and able to do so.

Meetup App
I highly recommend installing the meetup app on your smartphone, especially if you are a solo traveller.
I use this app myself.
It has many different events or meet up groups on any given day.
Simply enter your current location and then search the events happening on that particular day or future date.
Most are usually free but sometimes they're either charged or accept donations.
