Meanwood Park — Attraction in Leeds

It was quiet when we visited mid-week, there were a couple of school trips but still plenty of space. Disappointed with the number of animals, very few. Lovely cafe with seating indoors and out. Little playground close to Meanwood beck. It's nice to hear the water, occasionally, while in that area. Plants grown on site are available to buy and it's great to see that there's an area where bicycles are refurbished and sold on. They certainly are worth a look of in the market for a bike!

There is a decent adventure playground with the obligatory ice cream van. You can walk from here all the way up to Golden acre or further if you want to, and the walk is decently interesting. You can also walk back almost to the city centre if you choose to. There is also the beck with a variety of ponds crossings and stepping stone.

Its easy to find and there is ample parking and plenty of access points. Finally there is a decent enough cafe, or further eating options 5 minutes walk away...
