Mowbray Park in Sunderland was opened on the 21st May 1857, by John Candlish, MP. The park was built following a public health enquiry into the cholera epidemic of the 1840s. The enquiry recommended that a park should be built to give the people of Sunderland more fresh air and exercise; Parliament gave £750 to help establish the park.
