It is one of the oldest parks in the North East of England, having opened in 1857, and thanks to a restoration project it’s now 'the jewel in the crown of the city centre'. It features a band stand, a lake, a children's play area themed on Lewis Carrol's Alice in Wonderland, and plenty of open green space to relax in. Popular Backhouse Park is also close by.
