Barnes Park Sunderland

 We visited the lovely Barnes park in Sunderland this weekend and wanted to share just how special it is with you.

The park has everything you could want for a relaxed morning or afternoon out. There are two very impressive, spacious, well equipped play areas one for younger kids and one for older ones.

There is a very attractive pond teaming with ducks and a bridges to cross over. The park is ideal for a stroll or bike/scooter ride with lots of paths to wind your way around and quirky sculptures to grab your attention.

There are very well maintained toilet facilities, a free car park, a m.u.g.a, picnic tables and lots of open areas too.
