Skerne Park is a predominantly council owned housing estate in the southern part of the borough of Darlington^[1] and the ceremonial county of County Durham, England. It is situated on the southern edge of Darlington. Skerne Park comprises streets named after well-known British rivers, such as Tweed Place, Severn Way and Tyne Crescent, partly because the estate is built near the River Skerne.
