Saltwell Park

Discover the jewel in Gateshead’s crown, Saltwell Park! This stunning Victorian park offers a fantastic free day out for families. Kids can burn off energy in the brilliant playgrounds, explore the enchanting dene with its streams and bridges, get lost in the maze, or hire a boat on the boating lake (seasonal). Admire the beautiful Saltwell Towers (often hosting events), stroll through the ornamental gardens, and enjoy a picnic on the vast green lawns. With ample space, great facilities including a cafe, it’s perfect for relaxing, playing, and exploring nature close to the city.
