Castle Leazes, Public park in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom.
Castle Leazes is a green space in Newcastle situated between Leazes Park and Spital Tongues, used by Newcastle University as a residential complex. The area contains open fields and pathways that run through the urban landscape.
This land has held common ground status for more than 700 years, with records of public ownership extending back centuries. This long history as shared land continues to shape how the place is used today.
The area supports student life through Castle Leazes Halls, which provides accommodation for 1,050 Newcastle University students in a residential complex.
The area is easily accessible on foot and has several entry points from different parts of the city. It works well for walking and exploring the open spaces at any time of year.
In the 1990s, Newcastle United Football Club planned a large stadium with over 50,000 seats here, but ultimately chose to expand St James' Park instead. This moment shows how differently the city might have developed.
