Springhead Park — Attraction in Leeds

As per usual hats off to Leeds City Council for exceptional maintenance of their park and recreation areas.

Springhead is one of my favourite parks in the area withit’s beautiful scenery and varied foliage.

Dog friendly with both tarmac and stone/gravel walking paths and a fresh water stream that runs past the bird aviary and throughout the whole of the park…. great for cooling your dog down on hot days.

For sports and exercise there is a skate park, tennis courts a basketball court and (approx.) a 1 km looped track which is pretty flat and ideal for that couch to 5K.

They’ve also recently installed an outside gym area with free exercise machines to use. If a more leisurely afternoon is more your thing Springhead has 2 very well maintained crown green bowling greens.

Two large play areas are also free to use one fenced off for toddlers, the other in the main park area with slides, swings and roundabouts etc…

Lovely little coffee shop with a selection of cakes, treats and ice creams.

Free parking and lots of spaces, although it can get busy during the summer.

In November there is a very impressive fireworks display and bonfire, but get there early, t’s a...

My two Dogs are addicted to this park, the on site cafe is a huge welcome relief with excellent cleanliness of all amenities any time of day. The staff are all polite and knowledgeable. The food is 5 star with a wide choice, all clearly priced. Table service which is valuable when You have dogs in tow. They even cater for your pampered pooch. The playground is excellently maintained and is kept free from litter and vandalism. The tennis courts and skate park are again in excellent condition. The car park I felt was a little small as there's so much to see and do. Gardens are so well maintained with the calmic stream that runs through the bottom, which the Dogs delight in taking a paddle on warm days. The birds are loved and adored by many and the cages are always in a clean environment. There is extra external parking along the road at the rear entrance. It's well paved so accessible by all. The outside gym is fun and there's a small picnic area too if You should want to bring Your own food. Plenty of bins are provided and emptied regularly. The collection of flowers and plants are...

There's a cafe, tennis courts, bowling green, running/ walking track, walks through the wooded part, lots of grass top sit on and play on, benches around the planted areas and the cafe area and near the car park area too

There's birds area (in big cages) rose garden, river dolphin (stream more than a river), adult gym equipment, skate park, big kids play Park section and a gated one for smaller kids. There's even a small concreted area with a basketball hoop. Good parking in the car park and on the road side at the opposite end on the park. It's a great park, not too big so you get lost and also not so small that you're bored in 30 mins. I can spend an hour easily just in the play Park section with my granddaughter.

On an evening you'll find fitness classes going on, on the main grass areas or in the slightly more quiet area on the other side of the river. There's paths on that side too so good for...
