Skerne Park is a predominantly council owned housing estate in the southern part of the borough of Darlington 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. Skerne Park has been recently renewed, and is a minute's walk away from The South Park. In Skerne Park, there is a Londis Newsagent Store, a Post Office and Chatterbox Cafe, there is also a popular primary school serving the local area.
Skerne Park Primary School was built in the 1960s and in 2006 was refurbished at a cost of around £4.1 million.
Skerne Park Primary School is just one facility in the building. The building's formal name is the Coleridge Centre. Other facilities in the Coleridge Centre are: Adult Learning, Darlington Borough Council Offices and Surestart.
