Roker Park, Grade II listed park in Roker, Sunderland, England
The garden stretches in a reversed L shape, extending from Park Parade to Side Cliff Road with a ravine leading to Roker Beach.
The land for Roker Park was provided by Sir Hedworth Williamson in 1880, establishing a recreational space for the local community.
The park includes a memorial drinking fountain constructed by Sunday School participants to mark both the park opening and Sunday Schools centenary.
Visitors can participate in remote-controlled model boating on the central lake or enjoy sports activities at the tennis and multi-purpose courts.
The park features a narrow gauge railway track in its northwest section and transforms into an illuminated display during the autumn season.
