West End Park was laid out by Ordnance Survey fourth edition circa 1940 along with recreation grounds. The park includes a war memorial. This was formerly the grounds of Chirton Dene House. West End Park is linked to the modern Smith's Park, created in 1994 by SGS Environment for the Tyne and Wear Development Corporation as part of the Royal Quays shopping outlet. To the south of Howdon Road, accessed by a pedestrian subway is the Linear Park, with formal circular footpaths laid out either side of the Chirton Burn. Chirton and Redburn Dene Parks are on North Tyneside Council's Local List. Redburn Dene used to be one of the main rail corridors down to coal staiths on the River Tyne. Timbers from the former staiths have been reused to form carved columns. A series of large boulders form an artwork called "Rugged Landscape". Chirton Dene was infilled when the Albert Edward Dock was built in the 1880s. The theme of this 12 acre park is water, with representations of a mountain stream, reed beds, central pool, a cadadar, a boggy area and then a series of cascades into Albert Edward Dock.

This 15 acre lake was created circa 1964 during the reclamation of derelict pit sites. The surrounding park was meant to be like a natural meadow, with spoil heaps levelled and planted with semi-mature trees. Killingworth Township was supposed to represent a modern version of a castle set in a parkland landscape and approached by a causeway over a lake, like a drawbridge over a moat. The lake attracts swans, ducks and other wildlife and is well stocked with fish. An angling club and model boating club use the lake regularly. The lake is about 1.5 feet deep at the edge, sloping down to a maximum of 6.4 feet deep at the centre.
In 2019 during an archaeological watching brief deposits associated with the construction of the lake and parkland at Killingworth Town Park were encountered. In addition a linear deposit of clinker, brick fragments and coal on a NW/SE alignment was encountered. This was interpreted as part of a haulage road related to the creation of the parkland and lake in the 1960s.

Park created by the time of the Ordnance Survey fifth edition (circa 1950) on land next to Springfield Cottage.
A neighbourhood park established circa 1940s. The park has bowling greens, tennis courts, a play site, gardens, a community centre and a Day Care Nursery. An important piece of open space in a built-up area that is well-loved by locals.

Pretty gardens created in 2000 to celebrate the millennium. Built on the line of the Seaton Burn Waggonway (HER 1065) and takes its name from Fryer's Terrace, which formerly occupied this plot.

Two bronze sheep sat on large stone blocks. Date and artist unknown.

Details
MATERIALS: red and grey granite
PLAN: the memorial in the form of a mausoleum is set within a wrought iron enclosure, itself set within a roadside embayment formed by a stone wall with pillars at intervals. A three-stepped square base and castellated plinth supports a tall square pedestal with short curvilinear clasping buttresses and engaged columns at the corners; the latter rise above the entablature as decorative finials. The top of the pedestal is surmounted by a domed column bearing a stone Celtic cross. Pink granite panels on the front sides of the column bear the 72 names of the Fallen of both World Wars. Lettering is incised and gilded using sans serif capitols throughout. The inscription on the front face reads:
In memory of the men / of Seaton Burn / and District / who fell / in the Great War / 1914-18 /
Also / 1939-1945

This stands beside the White Swan Centre on Citadel East in a garden in the car park. It was erected on 28th September 2000 by Sappers from the Royal Engineers and unveiled on 11th November 2000. It is 10 feet high and 10 feet wide, constructed of stainless steel in 16 jigsaw pieces. Two of the pieces lie on the ground alongside three stainless steel plaques. The centre plaque reads "IN MEMORY OF THOSE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE IN THE CAUSE OF PEACE SINCE 1945". The right hand plaque reads "THE JIGSAW IS A METAPHOR FOR BEREAVEMENT, THE LOSS FELT AT THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONE. IT ALSO CELEBRATES FAMILY AND FRIENDS, STANDING TOGETHER, PROVIDING COMFORT AND SUPPORT INTO THE FUTURE JUDITH SPREADBURY, STUDENT, NORTH TYNESIDE COLLEGE". The third plaque is to the artist who died in 2005. 'Jigsaw' was commissioned by North Tyneside War Veterans Memorial Committee. William Morrisons Supermarkets Plc donated funds for the materials and Swan Hunters (Tyneside) Ltd provided technical staff (apprentice welders) {1}. 10,000 daffodils were planted at the White Swan Centre for victims of the Falklands War {www.newmp.org.uk}.

The sculptures have been a feature of Killingworth's Garths estate since the mid-1970s. It is understood that the hippos were installed as part of a local authority housing scheme, however, the designer is, as yet, unknown. It is assumed that they came from the same moulds used by Stan Bonnar for similar hippos in Glenrothes New Town, Fife.
