Leazes Park, Urban park in Newcastle upon Tyne, England
Leazes Park spans 17.5 hectares with a central lake, tree-lined paths, tennis courts, basketball facilities, and a children's play area near St James' Park stadium.
The park originated from a petition by 3,000 working men in 1857, leading to its establishment as the first public park in Tyneside on December 23, 1873.
The Victorian-era park features the 1908 bust of Alderman Sir Charles Hamond on its terrace and commemorative Jubilee Gates from Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
The park includes six tennis courts, accessible pathways for wheelchairs, a Tower Café in Richardson Road Lodge, and multiple benches throughout the grounds.
The park's lake, initially designed for ice-skating and boating, now serves as a managed fishing spot maintained by the Leazes Park Angling Association.
