Getting to Albert Park

Finding the main gates

Albert Park is in central Middlesbrough, a short walk from the town centre and Teesside University. The main gates are on Linthorpe Road.

On foot

About ten minutes from Middlesbrough town centre, walking south down Linthorpe Road.

By bus

Several services run along Linthorpe Road and stop close to the park entrance.

With a buggy

The park paths are flat, wide and surfaced. Prams, buggies and walking frames are all fine.
