Open space beside the Medina on Newport’s edge / NEWPORT (ISLE OF WIGHT)

Seaclose Park

Choose Seaclose when you want a change of pace from Newport’s indoor attractions. The park offers open grass and recreation space near the River Medina, suitable for a modest fresh-air outing rather than an ambitious island walk. Keep the route short if combining it with the centre, and follow current access notices around events.

Before you go

The park is also used for major events, so normal public access and available space can change. Check local notices rather than assuming the whole site is always open.
