The toilets, including those at Roker Park, will open from 8am.
The only exception will be the disabled toilet at Marine Walk which is closed due to a maintenance issue which the council is working to resolve as quickly as possible.

Deputy Leader of Sunderland City Council, Councillor Michael Mordey is urging people to stay safe and to carry on social distancing if they are planning to head to the seafront or any of the city's other beauty spots this weekend.
Coun Mordey said: "While the weather for the weekend is looking great and we want everyone to have a good time, it's very important that people remember to keep up the good work when it comes to social distancing."The advice remains that everyone should stay at home as much as possible, limit contact with other people and if you do go out stay two metres apart from anyone outside your household."If you're heading to the seafront, you also need to be aware that there are currently no lifeguards on duty on our beaches and won't be until 4 July. So we'd ask everyone visiting the beach to think about their safety in and out of the water, not to use inflatables, to keep an eye on their children at all times and to generally stay safe."
