Park Facilities
Pros:
"A lovely vast park with a lake, lawns, forests & walking trails."
"Sports enthusiasts can take advantage of the numerous sports fields, tennis courts, and bowling greens available for friendly matches or casual play."
"It is huge and diverse. Easy to get to with lots of free parking."
"So peaceful. Clean and well maintained."
"A well maintained big park with 5 different jogging trails including a trail in Jungle."
"Nice restrooms available near the cafes."
"Skate park, outdoor gym, coffee shop, lakeside tearoom, toilets, ice cream van's and even a little train to take you from one end of the park to the other."
Cons:
"Left a sour taste to a decent event. Despite some precautions, the last part was a mud bath too and several kids ended up filthy from head to toe."
"Be careful running around the lake as it can be very muddy."
"Parking is a bit of problem on busy days usually on weekends."
"Car parks are tiny though. Seems like lots have to park on the approach road."
"Visited on a cold wet day and was disappointed we had to sit outside with the dog even though there were Mums with filthy wheels on their baby buggies inside."
"The only reason I knocked a star off was because paying basically £5 for a biscuit or bit of cake at the cafe is just too much."
"Would Recommend for The Management to Have Extra People Working on Busy Days as Rubbish Gets Thrown on Grass Fields and Looks Quite Bad."
Natural Beauty & Wildlife
Pros:
"Beautiful walks though the woods and around the lake area."
"With the nature trails! There’s a beautiful pond with ducks, swans, sea gull and mystic mystery of the pond and not to mention our cheeky squirrels."
"Lovely open space lots of grassland and paths, areas of lakes and recreational parks."
"Amazing views and amazing scenery, what more can you ask for."
"Roundhay Park is a stunning display of natural beauty."
"Spacious and accessible, this green space is a delight to wander around."
"Love this place with loads of swans and plenty of wildlife to admire."
Cons:
"One thing I noticed is there's a lot of steep hills (with steps) that didn't have accessible alternatives."
"We really enjoy going to roundhay park. Only small inconvenience is the last time we visited the children's play area by the Tram parking it was extremely littered."
"I absolutely hate that people do not listen to the rules you are not allowed to have a barbecue or drive on the grass but the people there are so ignorant and careless."
"I went to Ed Sheeran's concert here, the concert was fantastic but the organisation and the state of the grounds were disgusting."
"Icecreams vans were very expensive 22.00 for 5 think that's a bit over the top lol."
"The only thing that lets it down is the people who visit and leave rubbish...but the team there do everything to help keep it clean."
"The Canal Gardens over the road is looking very run down and the water feature is murky and smells."
Family & Children's Activities
Pros:
"Favourite spot with the grandchildren - they love it! Playground has lots to do with 2 climbing frames, swings, roundabouts, play train and fun circuit."
"There’s a cafe nearby and toilets. Ice cream trolley too!"
"Great park and a fab new children's play area. The kids loved it!"
"What a great time we had! Loved the views and well-tended lawns."
"There is always lots of parking on the road side."
"The park is one of the most popular attractions in Leeds; nearly a million people visit each year."
"It's a beautiful park with plenty of things to do."
Cons:
"Not bad but not fantastic either. Massive park but not much to do there."
"The only thing I'd add is that the food isn't cheap with panini's and wraps on the menu for over £8!"
"Try not to get into or swim in the lake as it is very dangerous."
"The worst experience subject to dog attack, ruined our family picnic."
"Kids had a lovely day there....had a bou cy castle there too and couple of play areas for thr kids and had a nice walk too."
"The car park isn't big enough though so we mostly end up parking on the road."
"Some paths can get a bit waterlogged and muddy but the team there often re surface them to help."
