Roker Park Conservation Area

In the late 19th century, together with the founding of the Sunderland football team they created the stadium that became known as Roker Park. It's along the beach, giving its visitors a real taste of Sunderland. Roker Park was named the most visited football field. After 100 years of existence, the stadium was demolished and in 1997 was moved to its current location, and was called the Stadium of Light. The old stadium and its adjacent lots were destined to become one of the parks and green spaces of greater importance and size of the entire city. Including a pond, a gazebo for orchestras, and a miniature train (for all ages), and various places for kids.
