Current Information

The Nunsmoor Park has recently been refurbished,  £490,000 of funding from Newcastle New Deal for the Communities and Newcastle City Council. 

Nunsmoor Park was awarded Green Flag status in 2005.

The refurbishment also included the restoration of the illuminated walkway known as Birdcage Walk.

General History

The area of land now forming the park was at one time owned by the church after being confirmed to the Nuns of St Mary and St Bartholomew (how the area and the park got it's name). Later the land was given over to the Freemen of the City as grazing land, part of which was bought by the Newcastle Corporation in 1651 and later developed into a park covering almost 25 acres at a cost of nearly £1600, though this did not happen until 1887. 

The park  has a group of local people (known as the Park User Group) who meet regularly to discuss maintenance, events and future development within the park.

A Park Keeper is based in the park throughout the week to maintain the site and assist with general enquiries.
