Visitors can get a sneak preview tomorrow of a park being created.

Herrington Country Park, which is due to officially open on the outskirts of Sunderland in July, is being created on a former industrial site, colliery and pit heap.

The public has been invited to join the Friends of Herrington Colliery on a formal walk around the park's boundaries.

The walk will be led by Sunderland City Council's design and management team, whose members will answer questions about the project's progress.

The walk starts at 10am at the site building, off Chester Road, opposite Penshaw Hill.
