Barnes park is a lovely park. Free parking. Sometimes the ice cream van is there and there is a cafe there although I've never been in there so I don't know anything about pricing or quality of drinks or food. A couple of parks catering to all ages lots of wild small animals can be seen if you have a walk around and there is also a pond there with a few ducks. The park is also great for dog walking or letting your little ones ride around on their bikes.

Nice clean park for a walk with the dog or kids especially in the autumn as it's full of colour. Free parking for about fifty cars. Play area's for the kid's. Park benches dotted around the park if you just want to sit out in the fresh air watching the world go by. Will definitely return to explore more of the park when time allows. Highly recommended venue.

Beautiful park, and we didn't get to see everything as we didn't have long. Free parking, play areas suitable for younger and older kids, loads of dens in the surrounding trees and the pathing was perfect for scooters, bikes and skateboards. If you had the weather it'd be ideal for a picnic or there's a café at the main entrance if you can't be bothered.

Great place for a walk and adventure play park for the kids and great for walking the dog 🐕

I beautiful place to visit, great parks for the kids. A lovely walk around the lake. Free areas to play sports. People are genuinely very friendly and allow you to join in their games.

Trees of the highest quality that seem to get bigger every year. One gave me directions to the little coffee shop the other day, very polite will return again.

Very large park within the residential part of Sunderland. Also playground for kids available.

Nature at its best - beautifully wrapped in a cute valley of serenity.

I take my little dig here intention we love it especially the stop off at the coffee shop and there's loads of wildlife often see squirrels rabbits ducks heron moorhens etc......well worth a visit

Excellent park for kids and adults alike. Great variety of play equipment for the kids, a shop for drinks and snacks, toilets, a field for football and lovely walks through the park. Obviously you get some "LOVELY" kids there but don't let that spoil the experience. My daughter spent 5 hours there recently and would have stayed longer had I let her.

It's a huge park. It was a family fun day. Loads to do. Loads of people and families there. Loved all the music in the bandstand. Seems a beautiful park. I'd like to go and explore it when I have the time. It was a great family fun day. Loads for the children to do and experience. Top marks for Sunderland Council or whoever made this happen.

Lovely Park to take the children or walk your dog. There's a cafe and a seating area and also toilet facilities. Car park is free and includes disability parking.

I have to say that Barnse Park has come aa long way since I was a child from the early 70,s to early 80,s Back in then, there was no rabbits squirrels. Wild lifeike that. However, unbelievable the other day I saw a big terrapin in the pond. I wish I could of taking a photo, but was too quick. A lot of work has been done to it and over the year's the park matured. Definitely a lovely place to take yourkids and walk the dog!

Been going here for years, great place to take the kids and one of the few parks where everyone seems to be polite and respectful of each other, two play areas for the kids, one for younger kids and one for the older ones, lovely cafe area too! There's a bowls green, tennis courts, fountains and sensory garden! Loads of wildlife from Squirrels to Herons and rabbits! Beautiful in the summer but also very colour in Autumn and even more picturesque in winter.

Well kept park with lots to offer. Parking on site. Lots of different routes to choose for your walk. 2 childrens play parks for different ages. Duck pond and bandstand with amphitheatre ( usually has something on at week ends. Not sure during covid) . Charity run cafe ( again closed at the moment). Basketball court. Lots if park benches and plenty of room for picnics. Toilets available.

Its open space, kids park and feeding ducks on the water. Lovely day out for all ages.

Barnes park

Lovely place to go

It is beautiful and safe for walking

Nice park, a nice place to walk around and it has a small carpark. The only negative is that youths tend to congregate in large groups within the park.

It's beautiful nice little walks for the dogs and okay areas for the kids and football/basketball court something for everyone especially on a nice sunny day

Beautiful park visit it often very well kept

Lovely open spaces, 2 decent sized parks. Properly more to do for the older ones.

Clean, quiet, beautiful and peaceful

Lovely kept park to walk the dog each day. Always very nicely planted

It's a good little park for children to walk around and visit the play area. The park itself is not very big. We walked around it in less than 10 minutes.

Nice and relaxing place to do your exercise

Jewel in hordens crown

Well kept and a peaceful place to enjoy leisure time for all ages

Always a pleasant walk, so well maintained.

A nice quiet stress free walk.

Lovely park, very calming to walk around

Even in Autumn the Park is an ideal place for a quiet stroll. Most of the flower beds are still in colour, others being prepared for winter and next spring. Enjoy the surroundings whilst taking your dog for a walk and remember, on a lead and clean up after your dog.

The type of kids that use it are awful

Well kept gardens

Good park cafe on site astro felt play area

You can see the pride of the people who work their by how gorgeous the park is.

I thought it was beautiful the grounds bandstand all of geart and well kept

It

Only went to the bowling green which was well maintained. The rest of the park looked attractive and seemed offer good facilities for other sports.

Beautiful park to visit. There is a small cafe and historical museum/room above. Its always very well maintained and has playing fields, Tennis courts, Bowling and Cricket greens. Football field and Childrens play areas. The planting and seating is amazing.

Best kept parks ever.

We are open tomorrow

The children's parks are starting to get run down. They need some investment in them to bring them back to life

Great park to walk the dog in, friendly families enjoying themselves.

Its a lovely park with some brilliant wildlife (rabbits, squirrels, heron, chaffinch and wren to name a few). Has lovely picnic spots, great for an hours family time. Only thing that let's it down is the number of rats who are just not afraid of people AT ALL. I wouldn't let my little one play in the sand pit or sit in the grass.

Great play areas, suited for different ages and abilities, right by the car park. Accessible toilets. Beautiful range of trees. You can follow the path for a walk or deviate off for a bit of exploring as children like to do. Bit muddy in places but I expect that on an autumn day. Spacious and refreshing!

Lots to do for the family. A good play park for the kids. Normally there is a cafe but this is closed at present due to the C virus

Barnes park is a lovely place for a stroll. It's well landscaped, has footpaths, a moderate-sized car park, toilets and a cafe. The duckpond tends to be a hit with youngsters.

It was very open and quite clean. Lovely maintain ponds. Great history. Lovely walks. Quite safe. A wonderful band stand. Lovley cafe run by special needs. A wonderful children's play area. A great place for a walk or a jog or for a day out. For a picnic or bike ride. A great place for feeding the local wildlife. A awesome place to walk the dogs.

Nice pleasant stroll with the dog on an Autumn afternoon. Tree colours are fabulous to see and demonstrate one of nature's optical gifts. Well worth a visit for a couple of hours.

The park of my childhood. So many fond memories of this park - I think I explored every inch of it as a child. Went for a walk with a friend who had never visited before. Whilst many of the areas I remembered so vividly have changed most of this is for the better.

Lovely clean park

Nice for a little stroll with the dog but can get really crowded

Great for everyone.

Council has made lots of improvements looks really nice

Nice place

Excellent for a quiet stroll or to take kids to the play are or duck pond.

Only problem was icy conditions pity

Best park in Sunderland

Need to do something about dog owners not picking up after them! There are families who want to enjoy the park without the worry of standing in dog mess.

Really nice park

Lovely

Loads of new stock In absolute customer friendly staff lot better than the previous year

Nice place to visit

Lovely walk and toilets

Nice park for a walk ☺️

Great experience

It's a beautiful place with parking, lots of park features for the kids to play on, there's also wildlife to enjoy along with a pond with ducks 🦆. I also enjoy the logs that's been engraved with faces and other designs on and around the park there's information boards with interesting information on all about the park and it's history.

I go.in every day. DOGS DOGS DOGS, SHOULD BE ON A LEAD.

Excellent couple of hours with my daughter and my grand children and wife cafe was shut cofid will visit again

Lots of trees. Clean

Nice park small enough to easily stroll round and not spend too much time at that.

Lovely walk but the Park needs a clean pizza boxes and pop bottles. Clean the park

Lovely park and went in Autumn. Was beautiful

Nice pitches nets above to stop the ball going out means more time on the pitch.

Lovely outdoor space, a pleasure to walk in.

A great place for dog walkers, good play area for kids. Large free car park. Cafe and clean toilets. Worth a visit.

Its wonderful.very nice place

Nice Park if you don't mind the rats running about with the squirrels and rabbits 🤣🤣

The park is not as well kept as it used to be. It was over grown and people were standing around watching the rats. Back house park was the same , didn't see any rats apart from the squirrels.

Great gardens

Lovely park

Nice park with different walks, plenty of wildlife if you look out for it, was previously an issue with vermin, but seems more controls are in place now, well worth a visit, I just wish some folk would take their litter home or put it in a bin!

Nice park .. lovely walk

Barnes Park is not far away from where we live , it's a place for everyone any age, we often spend time with our family grandchildren our dog Ben ,a happy time building memories taking photos throwing our dog his ball, the leaves fall on your head through the autumn of wellies full of mud, then the snow melting on your shoulders looking up falling on your face, spring is around the bulbs popping through, the nights are slowly getting lighter wow summer it's a few months away 😀 x

Fantastic walk with loads of space. Great playground for the kids. With a cafe that serves delicious food and ran by a wonderful group of people.

Lovely park. Play areas for both toddlers and older kids. We love going down for a walk when the weather is good.

Great, safe park for a walk with kids, dogs or by yourself. Lots of space, places to sit and places to explore (kids live it!)

A special park, wether you are having a picnic, walking the dog or taking the kids to the play area this is an amazing place to while away a few hours.

I live near the park and it's so well set out. The beautiful tranquil setting of the trees and general parkland, the bandstand tucked away from view. The bowling green, the bridge over to the duck pond and then onto the children's area with the field up top on one side and the winding garden area and tennis courts on the other side. Iv used this park for 40 years and still love it. It could do with more carparking, maybe at the Barnes view/Barnes Road end.

Two excellent playgrounds, one for younger children, one for older. There is a cafe there, plenty of space for sports games and an outdoor gym. Has a nice pond and plenty of walking to be had.

My favourite park. Lovely to walk the dogs or take the pram. There are some steap inclines but these can be avoided if you stay around the pond and play areas.

I used to work there with a full dedicated staff of around 20. Nowadays the staff is about 3 who are also expected to care for other parks and facilities among their duties! There's no security as there was once and the gates are no longer locked at night! I love the place, but hate the way it's going!!!

It's a really lovely park, lots of walks, great play park fir the kids, and dogs love it!

Nice place.Nice walk out and great for kids.also dog friendly, small cafe there and car park and sometimes ride round park and talk of fairies etc worth a visit.We love it. So many bits of the park you can visit just on their own. Young children's play area, sand pit, duck pond, big lawns of grass, fountains , streams, cafe, toilets, baby change, sensory garden, blackberry picking in the autumn. Such a wonderful place.

Beautiful park just few minutes from the city centre. Went on my lunch break for some fresh air. Often see squirrels running in the trees. Well cared for park. Small lake with ducks and a bandstand for kids to use their imaginations in

Popular place with family's, dog walkers, 🐕 play park,sand pit, cafe. Duck pond and good walks. But I just sat in the sun watching the bowls. ☀️

Beautiful colours in autumn. Good play area for children and easy parking and clean toilets. Lovely walk through the park.

Went to see Sunderlands Lights Display, tidy and neat park, really nice walk and listing to the waterfall in the Lake/Pond, the light show was amazing and spectacular

Lovely park, well maintained, kids play area, good paths , toilets and cafe, plenty of seating around the walks

My 2 year olds favorite park. Hours of fun to be had here and cafe does a great latte! Happy baby, happy mum!

Great little cafe for a hot chocolate and walk around in the morning. Really clean and friendly park, lots of baby rabbits hopping around and ducks on the pond. The play park is excellent for the children.
