About

Roker Park is a fantastic place to go and play or relax with the kids. There is plenty of space and lots of things for everyone to do. The park leads down to the beast so you also have some great views to enjoy.

The boating lake is great for the younger kids, with fishing nets and buckets, plus the boats that sail on it are great to watch. There are 2 play areas for the kids, with one especially for tots, and both are kept lovely and clean. There is plenty of space to run around, kick a football about or play frisbee.

Dogs are welcome, but will need to be kept on the lead and cleared up after. The Victorian bandstand is sometimes used for entertainment, but is also good as a shelter from rain! The miniature train ride is great fun, with only a small donation required.

There are some lovely floral displays, plus water features to enjoy and during the Winter, there is a wonderful display of lights. A lovely place to visit at any time of the year!

Good for: all ages, babies toddlers, older children, teenagers, young children
