South Park, one of Darlington's largest recreational facilities,
attracts many people. The lake (pictured) is home to ducks, geese, swans
and many other types of wildlife.
The river Skerne flows through the park and
out of the town, south to Croft Spa
where it joins the river Tees.
The park also has an aviary, sports facilities and vast open spaces
for special events as well as day-to-day use.
