James Cook Park

James Cook Park is a refreshing urban green space located in Middlesbrough, offering a peaceful retreat for locals and visitors alike. As one of Middlesbrough's newest parks, it has been thoughtfully designed to create a more naturalised environment, particularly around the Marton West Beck. It's a place where nature is encouraged to flourish.

The park is characterised by its vibrant natural elements, with banks and wetter areas generously filled with an array of wildflowers, creating a colourful display through the seasons. A variety of new trees have been planted, complementing the existing mature trees from the site's previous incarnation. The revitalised Marton West Beck flows through the park, home to water crowfoot, which adds a unique touch with its white and yellow blooms. Visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls, observe local flora, and simply relax in this carefully cultivated natural setting.
