The city is also proposing to host swimming at a new 50 metres pool within the city centre dock system that would remain in place after the Games and provide both a swimming and visitor attraction legacy.
Among the other proposals is triple jump, long jump and pole vault on the dockside by neighbouring Mann Island here, aimed at ensuring spectators are brought even closer to the action.
Twenty20 cricket and track cycling, as Liverpool 2022’s "optional sports", would take place in Manchester at Old Trafford Cricket Ground and the city’s Velodrome.
Other key highlights of Liverpool’s hosting plan include five existing venues.
The Arena and Convention Centre (ACC) Liverpool, home to the 11,000-seat Echo Arena, BT Convention Centre and Exhibition Centre Liverpool, would stage badminton, artistic gymnastics, judo, netball and wrestling.
Liverpool FC's Anfield stadium has been cited as the venue for the Opening Ceremony and rugby sevens, while St George’s Hall and Goodison Park would host the squash and boxing finals respectively and Stanley Park would stage the lawn bowls.
A further notable element of Liverpool’s plan is to have the Athletes’ Village beside Everton FC’s new stadium in Nelson Dock, within Peel Land and Property’s £5.5 billion ($7 billion/$6.3 billion) Liverpool Waters scheme - residential developments that already have outlined planning permission meaning construction could start in the first half of 2018.
