Elswick Park & Pool
Looking up from the Westmorland Road end of the park towards the sports centre and swimming pool which re-opened on 1st October 2009 after a £1.1 million refurbishment.
Elswick Park was opened to the public in 1881. Elswick Hall, built in 1803, had been abandoned due to rising costs and was eventually demolished about 1980, its site used for the Pool. Tomlinson said that this park had much larger and older trees than Leazes Park. It had a lake, bowling green, rockery, a terrace in front of the aviaries, with a fine granite drinking fountain Image
