Parks & Open Spaces

Got something to say bro!

Newcastle's parks and open spaces tend to be on the fringes of the City.

Apart from Eldon Square, only a couple of parks lie within walking distance of the centre. These are: Leazes Park and Exhibition Park.

Other open spaces such as Jesmond Dene might necessitate public Transport to reach them but are well worth the effort.
