Beckett Park — Attraction in Leeds

Come running here sometimes, but thought we'd come and relax here with a coffee for once. Its not a normal park with lots of flowers, we'll it isn't in March. But there are huge open spaces for football or other sports if you want. It is a student area, so you see lots of them running, having a bbq or just relaxing. There are families here too and there is a children's play area and skate park, might bring my skateboard next time lol There's lots of benches and bins, the park is really good for walking your dog, jogging, cycling or rollerblading as there are loads of tracks here. The woodland tracks might not be suitable for rollerblading tho 😉 The park is really clean, no dog poo, drug paraphernalia or other undesirable rubbish you find in parks in other areas, so might bring the kids one day.

Well worth visiting for a...

Becketts park is nice, but boring, the child swings area always looks terrible, the council insist on having only 5 or 6 things on a very big area, much more could be done with it, and then cheap out on the padded flooring so it rips up over time and becomes another hazard, which they’ll fix on the cheap and in 5 years it’ll be torn up again…rule of thumb if there’s five working toys for the kids at the park two will be broken…. Skate park is ok, it’s ramp and concrete flooring so hard to get that wrong, Tennis court is being repaired, so who knows when that will open…. Becketts park is a small piece of land with a few trees, you want a walk it’s there, is it stunning ? No … are there better parks near by ? Yes go to mean wood… more Interesting , better facilities for kids and...

This park has a good space with a skate board park and a children's play area and a rather spartan exercise area with a few machines. It has some mature trees but not that many. It is pretty bereft of any wildlife albeit the woods you can walk through to it have a bit of bird life. The park lacks a cafe with good coffee and ideally some healthy snacks and if someone put some bird boxes up who knows nature may come back...
