Rose St

To attend forest school sessions at Gateshead Riverside Park, you will be met at the Rose St entrance (NE8 2LS). The site is a 5 minute walk from the entrance.

Parking:

Users of the Riverside park can find ample parking in the local vicinity, around the various entrance points to the park: Autumn Drive, Rose Street, Fletcher Road, and Worsdell Drive.

Please be mindful that many of the roadside parking spaces are regularly used and needed for local residents to park, and our participants should be mindful to leave as much space as possible.

There is free parking down Rose Street, just past the Children’s Centre (turn right after the Centre and there are a small number of off road parking spaces).

There is a large train station at Newcastle and a large Metro (underground train service) and bus interchange in Gateshead town centre. From here, local bus routes service the area of Team Street and Askew Road West, which are very close to the pedestrian entrance points to the Gateshead Riverside Park.
