Parks and open spaces

Northumberland County Council maintains many areas of amenity land and green open space. We aim to ensure that these are attractive and well kept for the enjoyment of both residents and visitors to Northumberland

Enjoy the outdoor life at the wide variety of parks and open spaces across Northumberland. For a high energy experience visit Kielder Water and Forest Park and enjoy mountain biking and lakeside walks. Or for the keen gardener there are a range of expertly maintained parks with impressive plant collections, such as Carlisle Park in Morpeth. Through the Love Northumberland  campaign the council is encouraging residents to appreciate our beautiful county and to help look after the environment.
