Teesside Park is a retail superstore and leisure development in North East England.it was built in 1988. Located just off the A66 near the A66/A19 interchange, it is split between the boroughs of Stockton-on-Tees (retail park) and Middlesbrough (leisure park) with the line of the Old River Tees, which runs down the middle of the development, forming the boundary between the two unitary authorities. The development has an eye-catching central building.^[1]

Site

The Stockton-on-Tees section is within the town of Thornaby-on-Tees and is all located within the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire. The driving force behind its growth was originally the Teesside Development Corporation^[2] in the late 1980s when the two current unitary authorities were part of the county of Cleveland. The park's location is often incorrectly listed as Stockton-on-Tees (for the leisure park), Teesside, Cleveland or Middlesbrough (for the retail park).

It is built on the former site of Stockton Racecourse, hence many of the park's roads being named after famous racecourses such as Aintree and Goodwood. It is home to a number of retail chains and has a Morrisons supermarket. Its catchment area covers much of the Tees Valley.

Transport

Teesside Park is served by a half-hourly bus service from Stockton High Street, Service 66, run now by Compass royston. A timetable can be found here. A half hourly service to Middlesbrough started serving the park in November, Service 8, run by Tees Valley Coach Travel,which has now been removed a timetable can be found here

It is also a short walk from the Stagecoach services 36, 37, and 38.

It was served by the hourly Arriva service X99 between Middlesbrough and Darlington, but the service was replaced by the X14 and subsequently the X66 meaning that these services no longer serve Teesside Park. It was also served by Stagecoach service 52 which travelled into the leisure park, both outside Morrisons and behind Toys R Us, this service was also removed.
