About

Barnes Park is a large public green space located in the centre of Sunderland. The area is primarily residential, with terraced and semi-detached housing surrounding the park itself. It is situated south of the city centre, near the University of Sunderland's City Campus and the Royal Infirmary. The park serves as a significant recreational hub for the local community, featuring wide paths, mature trees, and open grassland.

The park is also home to a historic clock tower lodge building at its main entrance.
