Pretty little park, 1st time. Not great weather but lovely little walk, quite a few like minded people walking around exercising their dogs. Great access to the beach and lots of parking dotted around. Will be back.

Another brilliant display at this year's Festival of Light. This is a very popular event and rightly so. Apart from the themed light up figures there is an eating area, toilets, vendors selling led things for the kids. If you need to catch your breath there are plenty of park benches to do so, including beside the duck pond. All of this for £3 ticket. Well done to all who organised this event.

Only had time for a short visit due to the illumination's that were about to start. The park was quite empty but still enjoyed what I did see. The memorial inscription states that the park is free to use forever. Strange how they're selling tickets for the light show.

Great park for a nice gentle walk which seems very accessible. As I've only visited during the illuminations I've not walked around this park during the day so can't really comment on much else. Though for events this park seems ideal. If you've got little kids I'd recommend going to visit in the early evening just as it's getting dark, if you leave it any later they might struggle to see any attractions past the sea of people!

We went for the illuminations last week which was really good with plenty to see. Our little lad loved the miniature train which only required a donation. The fire and water show was good as well for little ones.

Lot's of new lights this year and love the ticketed time slots, means the park isn't too busy. However the entrance could be better sign posted and clearer directions round the park would be good in future. Disabled and pet friendly!

What a very boring place that's not changed for years and years but some things just never change. There are some fantastic parks in Newcastle and Gateshead that inspire and captivate yet Rocker park and the whole of Sunderland is just so utterly depressing I just don't want to set foot upon its rubbish and rat infested streets ever again. Sunderland is only significant for the invention of the Monkey Rat, not to forget Peter Reid and his Monkeys heed.

Due to covid the park want lit up this year but the rest of the sea front was brilliant

Charming sea shore walk.

It is a wonderful and big park with playarea for all children, a lake with ducks and swans and more things.

Wonderful park to walk about in.... Lovely little lake, playarea, Model Railway, that you can ride...... Brilliant, when the 'Roker Lights' are switched on..( bit different this year 2020) though....

Scenic, green and close to the beach. Very pleasant walk and plenty of amenities nearby. Also close to a range of cafes, restaurants and bars. Can't think of anything missing apart from someone to enjoy it with!

A lovely well maintained park, clean and tidy. Well worth a visit, for leisure, exercise or just for relaxation. Close to the sea, with some amazing views. Well worth a visit.

A great park that links straight down to the beautiful coast and bars along the promenade. Park is always in great condition and tidy, has a brilliant play park for older and younger children, miniature trainlines that are frequently manned by volunteers a pond and much more. Puts on an impressive show for the illuminations every winter as well.

Walked through in the dark and it was lovely and peaceful. We sat by the lake and the ducks and a Swan came out for a little while. So lovely.

Lovely for the little ones, nice lights and rides for the kids. Hot food and drinks available.

I went here to see Roker Park illuminations. Great family fun. Money well spent. I have allso been here during the average day not to bad to have a walk around. If you go through Roker Park it will give people with disabilities access to the beach wich is also a pleasant place to go.

Lovely coast

Very pleasant and clean and tidy.

Beautiful areas to visit, lots to see and do. Well kept and coffee van there daily.

Great walk for all the family

Great place to go for a walk ...duck pond needs a clean out

Great walk through to the beach

But messy other than that enjoyable

Lovely Park and seating area. Nice to be able to sit and relax with coffee and ice cream

Great little park

Amazing

Visited with my husband and baby to see the lights at Christmas time. Lovely to see and a nice walk around. Music playing to the fountain display. Only thing was you had to pay this time as had to book a slot due to covid

Tranquillity

I enjoyed a nice walk around the park with my fiancè and his dog. Lovely place to visit

Really well organized Festival of Light. This was my first trip to Roker park and it looked like a lovely place to come back to. There were toilets, a lake, it's of grassy areas, miniature train, a couple of play areas and a bowling green. There are several entrances to the park. We used the one that takes you directly to the sea front which is then a short walk to pier view car park. We'll definitely be back for a visit and will be returning for the festival of lights 😊

My local park which I'm in almost everyday. I love this park and have done since I was a child. All my kids and now grand kids enjoy the park. It's almost a family tradition .. Lovely landscaping, play areas and now a cafe. Also the ravine leads down to the seafront. Seriously, if it was anywhere else in the world, people would rave about it..!

Desperately needs care and attention. A shadow of its former self. I remember the Illuminations and other attractions. Now areas are cordoned off including the bandstand. Pools run dry where once water flowed into them and the model railway has long since closed and only the rusty old track remains. My first visit in 20 years and i just felt sad.

Wonderful display of lights, not overly crowded & a pleasant atmosphere walking around.

Lovely walk in the park today, swan , ducks and of course seagulls on the lake, daffodils starting to come through and a burst of colour from the crocus flower.

So peaceful

Nice park to walk round. Direct access to the beach. Large park for children. Plenty of quieter areas with lots of benches

Nice place met a proper fit young one on the side of the road On the way back she asked me for a fiver to survive I said only for a hug she said she had a fella I said I have food to survive 😂 also how to delete search history on Dora the explorer fan page (asking for a mate ) (his name is pat ) ( his favourite sweets are jelly babies)

Big beach, easy to socially distance and lots of rock pools. Plus the big playground nearby is also excellent

Always nice to walk through the park and head up the the play parks for the kids. Access to the beach too.

Very peaceful and tranquil

Vibrant

Gorgeous park and so big!

Long time since I've been here before today it's a lovely park with a lot to look at very well look after would recommend it something for all ages

Quiet park to walk round, got a part for dog walkers where the dogs can run about.

Best walk to the beach, through roker park.

Lovely place to go for a walk. A bit chilly today though..... Still enjoyed it though.....

Been a beautiful place for years and years. Many fun memories here and a lot more to be made in the future!

Lovely park with beach and pier a short walk through park . Lovely place for children and adults alike

Lovely place to walk the dog. We'll looked after

Love this place used to go there all the time when I was a kid happy memories

Nice park to go walking

Absolute disgrace, nothing to do there anymore unless you like sitting down, number of old lamps haven't been removed properly and left half cut with bin bags covering the left over stumps, and bins are absolutely filthy

Lovely walk with our grandchildren.

One of sunderlands finest parks

Cold brisk walk.The pond was still partly frozen and the two swans were huddled together.Everyone was social distancing and it was a pleasant day.

Great place for kids n dog excursions

Kids love it

Should be lit at night, also the tennis courts should have nets

Always a pleasure to walk through, there's a bit of everything

Great for a walk in the park

Good place

Steep banks in places but nice peaceful walking area

Lovely place for a walk

Fab traditional park.Great playpark. Lovely gardens & grassy areas. Miniature railway track. Boating pond. Bandstand.Walkway down to promenade/ beach.
