Elswick Park has a mixture of shrubbery, mature trees and grassed areas. The park plays a vital role in community life. Elswick Park is open at all times. The park is located between Elswick Road, Westmorland Road and Beech Grove Road.
Within the park is a children’s play area, tennis courts, basketball courts and a 5-a-side area.
Steps within the park are long and shallow. Two new footpaths have been installed with a shallower gradient making access for wheelchairs, prams and the elderly a lot easier. However, due to the topography of the park some paths are not accessible for wheelchair users.
All parks in Newcastle are managed by Urban Green Rangers.
