Our drawing of the route — the shape of the walk, not a navigation aid. Carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Directions to the start →

Middlesbrough's Victorian town park, thirty hectares between Linthorpe Road and Park Vale Road, opened in 1868 and still the busiest dog-walking ground in the town. This circuit follows the perimeter path from the Linthorpe Road gates by the Dorman Museum, along the inside of Park Road North, round past the boating lake at the Park Vale Road end and back. Everything is tarmac and lit, the gates open at 7.30am and lock at 10pm, and there is a cafe in the visitor centre. The one thing to know before you set off is that the park lies inside the TS1 Public Spaces Protection Order area, so this is a lead walk rather than a free run.

THE SMALL PRINTAlbert Park falls inside the mapped TS1 area of the Middlesbrough Council TS1 Public Spaces Protection Order. Article 1.4 puts any person in charge of a dog in breach if they fail 'to keep the dog on a lead and under physical control at all times, except in an authorised dog exercise area', are in charge of more than four dogs at once, or fail to pick up. Assistance dogs for blind, deaf and disabled handlers are exempt. Penalty is a fixed penalty notice of up to 100 pounds, or a level 3 fine on conviction. Made 28 October 2019 and extended by a second extension order from 24 November 2025 for three years.
