Springhead Park

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 busy old evening

Great sized Park, went for Park Run. Well maintained and has a Car Park. Close to recreation centre.

This is a lovely Park for a walk with the dog or the kids, it has a good play ground and is ideally for daily exercise. The gardens are lovely and it hss an aviary too. Not to mention plenty of wildlife around the beck including regular visits from a Kingfisher.I'd give it 5 stars but theres a bit of litter around the beck. (Could do with a bit of a community effort to clean it up)

A lovely afternoon watching Lily paddle and dive for stones. It's her favourite pastime! The friendliest dog park in Yorkshire!

Lovely place to walk the dog. They have an outdoor Avery which is nice. Nice tennis courts, outdoor bowls, mini skate park, kiddies park, a pleasant little cafe and many other features. They also do a park run on a Sunday morning.

A fantastic park to walk around. Great for family days out and picnics, walking the dog or visiting the skateboard Park or tennis courts. A great little cafe with propper coffee!

A lovely well used park. Running track (walking in my case!!), skate park, tennis, table tennis, bowling green, aviary, swings, slides etc, plenty of parking and the icing on the cake a very nice (dog friendly) cafe with outdoor seating and open 7 days a week. Pay a visit, you will not be disappointed.

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 tooThere'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 nice strolls

Lovely park to visit with the dog, plenty of open space for him to burn off energy. Lovely little bird sanctuary in there too which was a nice surprise. As we walked around I was amazed at the variety of different trees and shrubs, which I imagine in the summer will look amazing as they fill the park awash with radiant colours. There is a little stream running through the park too which is very picturesque. Park also has a good size play area, also bowling greens and tennis courts. The cafe we visited was ok and served a variety of food. A decent size car park is available too.

Nice for a walk, picnic and it has kids playground
