Introduction

Stewart Park covers about 120 acres and consists both of mature woodland and arboretum on the southern side, with open parkland on the northern side. Two sets of lakes provide habitat for our water fowl.

A big favourite with all the family is our extensive pets corner with many types of domesticated animals, fallow deer, highland cattle, llamas and goats.

Our nature, heritage, orienteering and tree trails are provided within the Park, which are popular with school visits.

Stewart Park houses the Captain Cook museum.  The museum's website can be accessed by clicking on the external link on the right of this page.The site of the cottage where Captain James Cook was born is in Stewart Park, although all traces of the building have now disappeared. It is marked by a granite vase which is close to the centre of the museum.

Please contact us if you would like a copy of the park's events programme. The park also hosts larger events such as the Cleveland Show every year in July.

The park is available free of charge to charitable organisations for fund raising events such as sponsored walks and fun runs.

Mobility scheme

Electric scooters are now available to people using Stewart Park on Mondays to Fridays (excluding Bank Holidays). There is a small charge of £1.00 for existing registered users and £2.00 for non registered users. Please come to the reception which is located in the Park depot area near the animal enclosures.

Due to restrictive space we prefer visitors to park in the public car park on Ladgate Lane. However if this is not possible, then closer access is available via The Grove entrance. This is accessed from the rear of the park via Marton Road.
