Summer Parks Promo

This summer we're encouraging everyone in Sunderland to leave the car at home, get out and get active.

If you haven't joined BetterPoints Sunderland yet, download our free app from the App Store or Google Play (you can scan the QR below if you're not reading on your phone). Register with a Sunderland postcode then tap Challenges⚡ and join BetterPoints Sunderland to take the Get Started survey and start earning rewards. If you work or study in Sunderland but live outside the area, enter the referral code bpsooa to join in.

There are fabulous parks across the city and you can earn 250 BetterPoints for visiting seven of them: Elemore Park, Herrington Country Park, Thompson Park, Mowbray Park, Roker Park, Princess Anne Park and Barnes Park.

Simply walk, wheel, run or ride (e-bikes included!) to any of these parks and you'll get 250 BetterPoints for your first visit between 25 July and 31 August. Once you're there, you'll receive double points for every minute you are active within the park too! You'll get double points for up to 150 minutes a week.

Visit all seven listed parks and you'll get a 1,000 BetterPoints bonus! Please note that you'll need to visit the parks on different days: we're encouraging regular healthy activity, rather than one big tour of parks!

See Sunderland Council's Great Outdoors page for more information on parks in the city and check out the Sunderland Culture site for kids' activities over the summer too.

If you're taking public transport to any of the parks - or anywhere else - remember that Kids Go Free! See NECA's website for more information.

Change the way you travel around Sunderland and earn rewards.
