Albert Park, Middlesbrough, Public park in central Middlesbrough, United Kingdom.
Albert Park is a 30-hectare public green space in Middlesbrough with landscaped gardens, a boating lake, and several recreational areas. The grounds feature tennis courts, a roller-skating rink, and fishing opportunities at the lake.
The businessman Henry Bolckow purchased and donated the land in 1864, leading to the official opening by Prince Arthur of Connaught in 1868. This made the site an important public green space project for the region.
A bronze statue depicts the local sports figure Brian Clough at age 24, walking to training with boots over his shoulder. The sculpture marks his importance to the town and serves as a popular meeting point for visitors.
The park is easy to navigate with marked paths leading to different areas. Visitors should know that a free jogging event takes place every Saturday at 9 AM, which anyone can join.
A grade II listed sundial from 1879 allows visitors to read the time simultaneously in the United Kingdom, New York, and Melbourne. This object is a rare example of 19th century technical craftsmanship.
