Albert Park
Albert Park was donated to the people of Middlesbrough in 1868 by Henry Bolckow, one of the founders of the iron and steel industry on Teesside. The park covers an area of 30 hectares in the centre of Middlesbrough.
The Park is Middlesbrough's only Grade II listed Park in the English Heritage Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest.
In September 2004, a three year restoration scheme supported by Middlesbrough Council, the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Northumbrian Water Environmental Trust and the Friends of Albert Park was completed. The redevelopment made a much needed capital investment in the fabric of the Park and helped the people of Middlesbrough to rediscover one of their greatest community assets.
There are a wide range of facilities available within the Park including a Visitor's Centre, Roller Skating Rink, Cafe, Swan hire on the Lake, Tennis Courts, Bowling Greens, Play Areas, Bandstand and much more. Some activities are seasonal so we recommend phoning in advance of your visit.
