There are green spaces all over Newcastle that are managed for people
and for wildlife. What’s the difference between a park and a countryside site? Well, generally parks are a bit more formal with hard surfaced paths and flower beds, and countryside sites have a slightly wilder feel, with more long grass and wildlife habitats.
Are you looking for somewhere to play tennis or basketball, or cycle with the kids? A nice place to walk the dog, or somewhere to relax with a book, smell the flowers and new mown grass? See wild birds, animals and plants and maybe even help to look after the place? There really is something for everyone in Newcastle’s Parks and Countryside sites. Why not discover for yourself - come and see us soon!
