Love Parks Week is coming to an end, but there's still time to show some love for Gateshead's fantastic green spaces! 🌳💚

We've loved celebrating our parks with you over the past week, from scenic walks and family adventures to hidden gems and stunning views.

Now it's your turn! 📸

What's your favourite park in Gateshead and why? Share it in the comments and send us your best park photos via DM.

We'll be featuring some of our favourites on our channels over the coming weeks 💚

Saturday 22nd August - THE RETURN OF Walk the Charlie Rogers Trail
Following the success of the first Charlie Rogers Trail Walk in April, and by popular demand, we are repeating this event.
Brian Rankin, local artist and author of ‘Pursued by Bulldozers’, takes us on a tour of some of the places in the park that provided the backdrop for some of Charlie’s many paintings and sketches. Brian will also give us an update on upcoming exhibitions and future projects. We meet at the gates near the Little Theatre for an 11am start. If possible please reserve your place in advance by emailing [email protected]

There is an exhibition of some of Charlie Rogers’ paintings of Saltwell Park in Bewick’s Café in the Towers. Do take a look when you are visiting!
