Beautiful park! It is very big, with different entrances. it has playgrounds, a tennis court, a lot of areas to exercise and rest. You are able to see ducks, swans, squirrels, peacocks, chickens and rabbits every day of the week. But if you go on the weekend, I believe you can also see parrots and other kinds of birds. Sometimes there’s a little train passing and an ice cream van near the playgrounds. There’s parking available.

Wonderful parking Gateshead. So much to see. Well worth a visit but give yourself a few hours as it is big and varied.

Great place to go for a walk and feed the ducks with my niece also has some parrots and peacocks to see and all of the wild squirrels around the park are amazing

Saltwell Park is an absolute gem and easily one of the best parks in Gateshead. It’s beautifully maintained all year round, with wide paths, open green spaces, and plenty to see and do. Saltwell Towers is stunning and adds real character to the park, and the lake area is perfect for a relaxing walk. There’s something for everyone here — great play areas for kids, plenty of space for picnics, peaceful spots to sit and unwind, and fantastic routes for walking or jogging. The gardens are especially lovely in warmer months and are always kept in great condition.

What a great park! It’s huge and has so many lovely areas: a huge lake, rose gardens, bandstand, sculptures, war memorials, a maze…! Lots of benches too. I spent a long time exploring and I’m sure I probably missed lots more. There were quite a few people of all ages visiting when I was there but it never felt crowded. Very popular with dog walkers, joggers and young families. The impressive building in the centre is now a cafe as the museum collection has been moved to Shipley Museum not far away.
