    Meanwood Park is a beautiful and peaceful oasis in the heart of Leeds. The park has well-maintained walking paths, plenty of open green spaces, and scenic views. It's a great place to go for a walk, have a picnic, or just relax and enjoy the fresh air. There are also several facilities available, such as playgrounds, basketball courts, tennis courts, a plenty of kids playing area and a nice old bridge to walk over. I highly recommend Meanwood Park to anyone looking for a peaceful escape in the city.

    One of my fave place to be!! Perfect for all the family. Cafe is absolutely lovely, especially the cakes and hot chocolate. Options for everyone available. Very muddy at certain times if year.

    I don't even know where to start with this place. During the lockdown, it's one of those places that has been keeping me safe. The park is clean, and well looked after. I love the old bridge. The cafe is only getting better, but has been too busy even during lockdowns.

  • 5/5 Muhammed H. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic part of Leeds and must be visited by everyone who is in the area. So much appreciated by past generations and will certainly be treasured by future generations. love Meanwood park in all seasons, it's perfect for family days out, dog walking, picnics, jogging, bike rides or just somewhere to relax. A huge variation of different areas are hidden into this park, with rivers and streams and a deeper wooded area called the Hollies accessible from here (which has tennis courts free to play). Mystical wooded areas to chill out in.

    Amazing walk round, small play park, cafe extremely busy and coffee was luke warm, lovely walk through woods, over bridges, lots of streams, people moving aside to pass. Wasn't as long as I thought but still lovely to explore!

    There's big open, alit of woodland paths. It was boggy but that's expected at this of year. I went with my dog. Lots of other friendly dogs running around. The cafe is really nice. A bit on the expensive side but the quality was brilliant. The sausage rolls are absolutely massive.

  • 5/5 Anju L. 2 years ago on Google
    What a beautiful park that makes you feel like you're far away from the city. They have a nice cafe open 7 days a week, serving drinks, snacks, lunches and pastry. It's pet friendly as well so you can bring your doggos for a walk. Even saw a couple of horses! The meanwood valley trail passes through so a great stop while on your walk or even the start of the trail. Can't wait to go back again soon.

    A lovely park with an excellent play area for children of all ages - variety of play equipment (climbing net, roundabouts, swings, slides, rock climbing, doughnut swing, monkey bars) plus the stream adds an extra interesting walk. With plenty of bridges in between with lovely small waterfalls.

  • 5/5 J W. 6 months ago on Google
    A lovely open space. Plenty of open areas for children to play and a well maintained playground. The wooded area is a delight - lots of paths to explore. If you want a climbing challenge, then there are some good steep slopes to scramble up. The coffee shop near the car park on the south side is excellent.

  • 4/5 Laura w. 3 years ago on Google
    Busy but still space to social distance if you avoid the toddler families and parents who allow children to hog the paths with their bikes. Head into the woods or hollies for a decent walk without stress! Cafe and ice cream van do take out coffee also.

  • 4/5 Rita O. 3 years ago on Google
    Plenty of open spaces, play areas for children, a stream with numerous bridges (great for playing poohsticks with the grandchildren!) and more peaceful areas for quiet contemplation!

  • 5/5 Jacky W. 3 years ago on Google
    Impressed with park facilities for the children and cleanliness. We walked through the woods to get to the park and were pleased with cleanliness and lack of litter in there. It is lovely to see it being used by lots of people and that they appreciate the area and leave it as they found it for others.

  • 5/5 Aaron M. 3 years ago on Google
    A lovely place to visit both The Park and The Hollies. A large estate of woodlands to explore, with a pretty little stream through its centre. Basketball courts, tennis courts, open grass areas and long walks all available for free. Lots of parking available nearby. Well worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Ian Lee H. 3 years ago on Google
    Born and raised in Meanwood so I'm not going to be bias but the park is very underrated, I truly think people do not realise what a monumental place the park is and how adventurous A+

  • 5/5 Tina A. 5 years ago on Google
    I go here for a run and to keep my dog happy daily. It's great for everyone: families with kids, dogs, joggers or people who just want to take a nice walk. I personally love it. The dogs can drink water from the creek or cool down. It's super easily accessible and you can also extend your walk to The Hollies. It has a rocky patch that is wonderful for exercise.

    An excellent escape to the wilderness

  • 5/5 linda s. 3 years ago on Google
    Brilliant park for all the family

  • 5/5 Ron G. 5 years ago on Google
    Delightful and unspoilt piece of heaven just north of Leeds city centre. I've been visiting this park since I was a child back in the late 1950s, it has changed very little in that time. Great for walking the dog or just a pleasant stroll along the stream. Very tranquil and natural looking. You really feel miles away from it all here. R Gill

  • 5/5 Simon H. 4 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 andrew w. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice walks and lovely quite space to get away from the city. Bet it's beautifull in the summer. Visited on the 9th of January 2022. Only downfall Is that the public toilets were closed and this really needs addressing as some people have health issues were they need public toilets (Is it legal to sell drinks at a near by cafe and not provide toilet facilties).

  • 5/5 Reva H. 2 years ago on Google
    Very dog friendly. Has a great little cafe with some vegan and gluten free options.

  • 5/5 Sophie T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great park! Perfect for families or anyone looking for a nice walk. Has everything you need; picnic benches and a cafe, playground, grassy area, wooded hilly walk, stream with some ducks and if you go further it connects to the Hollies for a nice walk along the water. I love getting an ice cream or drink here and just sitting watching the stream. Been told by my friend its great fir dogs as well, with the grass area good for running and ball throwing and water for paddles!

  • 5/5 Linda Cosmic Sunshine (. 2 years ago on Google
    I love to walk in this park with my grandsons who live in the area. Watching it change through the seasons gives me a lot of pleasure. I love seeing the beck shift from higher to lower water levels, sometimes calm, sometimes rushing by. This is a beautiful place to enjoy the woods or the ducks, watch the trees bloom in the spring, and occasionally have a delicious little snack from the cafe.

  • 5/5 Iftakhar M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little park , with nice forest paths

  • 4/5 michael t. 1 year ago on Google
    A good sized park and not too busy, my only problem is that a large section of grass has been left to overgrow. This is one of the flatter parts and is usually great for Acro.

  • 5/5 Judi D. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice park, the streams were full due to the amount of rain we had had. A nice old bridge to walk over. Nice to be out in the country but close to the city too. A good cafe with lovely hot chocolate and really yummy cakes and a free toilet. Children's playground also included a children's climbing wall. Lots of people with dogs on leads. Lots of areas to have a picnic when the weather is good.

    A lovely little local park in Meanwood. Great for walking dogs or just going on a simple walk. So much to explore.

  • 4/5 Gabriel B. 4 years ago on Google
    Its a very nice place to visit. Its got a lovely route to go on and lots of wildife around you. There's a lovely little cafe at which you can get drinks, lunch, cakes and ice cream. They have toilets and seating inside and outside. Its a very nice place to visit.

  • 5/5 Phil J. 6 months ago on Google
    Always worth a visit. If not only for coffee and cakes at Three Cottages Cafe, which is going from strength to strength, but for the woodland walks along Meanwood Valley trail or up into The Hollies. Many little loop walks or plenty of benches to sit and take it all in with an ice-cream. There is limited car parking at the end of Green Road opposite the school or you can park at The Hollies, The Myrtle Tavern or even in Meanwood centre and easily walk to the park. Plenty of open space for ball games and there is a children's play area, basketball court, bowling green and public toilets.

  • 5/5 Diane C. 5 months ago on Google
    A lovely place to enjoy nature... a small wood to walk in and green spaces + a childrens playground ๐Ÿ˜Š

    I really like this park as its very dog friendly . And even if u don't have a dog it's a lovely place to walk and there are plenty different walks u can do. The cafe is very nice and is also dog friendly. The complaint I have there is not enough fog bins or seats to sit down on

  • 5/5 Amanda F. 7 months ago on Google
