The main attraction is definitely the beautiful and secluded lake that provides a lovely walk and ample benches for soaking up the sunshine. This also proves popular with runners and fisherman!

Multiple green spaces for lounging around or having a barbecue as well as having tennis courts,a basketball court and a bowling green. It is usually the venue of choice for certain summer events too like gay pride and the Newcastle green festival.

Heaton park is a lovely green space that extends towards Jesmond so you can walk through to the Dene. It offers a children's play area,several different walking paths or routes and even has a restaurant on its pavilion called Sambucas. Surprisingly tranquil given its proximity to a main road and a nice escape from the hustle of Heaton or Chillingham Road. Sadly they haven't looked after the bowling green which is now overgrown and patchy. Even if not restored this space is central to the park and could do with a bit of love.
