are all within walking distance of Sport Central.

Tyne Bridge
If entering the city from the Tyne Bridge (A167M), take the second exit off the motorway after leaving the
bridge, then at the roundabout take the City Centre exit where you will come to a right turn signposted
Northumbria University. This right turn would take you towards Sport Central, however, as there is very little
public parking available, it is advisable to drive past this turning, then turn right at the next set of traffic
lights into John Dobson Street where you will find a large NCP car park on the left.
Redheugh Bridge
If arriving in Newcastle via the Redheugh Bridge (A184), at the second major set of traffic lights on St James
Boulevard, turn right into Westgate Road (A186). Travel straight on through a number of traffic lights until
you come to large roundabout, (if you can see Bar 55 in front of you then you are on the right road). Take
the second exit off the roundabout signposted towards the A167 motorway. Do not join the motorway but
continue parallel to it up to another roundabout, at which you should take the exit marked City Centre. You
will quickly come to a right turn signposted Northumbria University. This right turn would take you towards
Sport Central however as there is very little public parking available, it is advisable to drive past this turning,
then turn right at the next set of traffic lights into John Dobson Street where you will find a large NCP car
park on the left.
