This park is one of the most beautiful and natural place in Leeds. You can come with your friends or family or even alone and sit on side of lake for long time and can feel the natural beauty. If you want to spend relaxing time then definitely i will recommend this place for you. The most amazing thing is walking around the lake and feeling the fresh air with natural view just sitting and thinking deeply. 👍🏼❤️.

What a lovely place this is, so spacious and lovely walks. I took a walk around the lake, it's a steady walk not strenuous at all. The swans i found were quite friendly and can get quite close to them, be careful with kids tho.. A lovely morning walk which I shall do again in the future.

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. You can walk along the path, picnic nearby. There’s a cafe nearby and toilets. Ice cream trolley too! Perfect for both summer and winter. You have free car park too!

I would say it is the most beautiful park that I visited in the UK. Very fresh and nice. Family time, couple time are very suitable here. A lot of people bring their pet, toddlers, babies and somewhat seniors are also here. A bit of history, this park's area cover more than 700 acres and I was told that it used to be private park, until the inherited sold it to Leeds' government. As the council was not permitted to spend more than £40,000 on such large tracts of land, it was purchased for £139,000 by a group. Leeds City Council subsequently reimbursed them. And it re-opened again at 1872 by Prince Arthur for public. And interestingly, you will found some benches with the memoriam in it Interestingly, most of the benches here got some memoriam notes from the people who used to sit at the park

Great park. Always clean and tidy. Lots of benches, bins and signs. Animal friendly and accessible for everyone regardless of their physical ability. Also good for bikes and running. Lots of parking spaces for cars and of course a safe playground for kids.

A well maintained big park with 5 different jogging trails including a trail in Jungle. A trail alongside lower lake is a treat to watch alongside all the birds in lake. - A playground for dogs!! - a cricket ground!! - Walking trails - Lakeside cafe Good parking as well. Try not to get into or swim in the lake as it is very dangerous. There are rescue tubes alongside lake track after every 100 meters. You can bring bread to feed the birds as they will gather around you and it will be a great scene to watch with Seagulls flying and catching the bread and Canada goose competing . … Roundhay Park in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, is one of the biggest city parks in Europe. It covers more than 700 acres (2.8 km2) of parkland, lakes, woodland and gardens which are owned by Leeds City Council. The park is one of the most popular attractions in Leeds; nearly a million people visit each year. It is situated on the north-east edge of the city, bordered by the suburb of Roundhay to the west, Oakwood to the south and the A6120 outer ring road to the north. Tropical World has a butterfly house and aquariums. Exhibits include birds and some reptiles living free inside, and many other animals in enclosures including a group of meerkats. Its nocturnal house is home to creatures such as bats which are active at night. In 2015 following further refurbishment and alterations an Aztec zone opened in the area transformed into an Amazon themed zone occupied by piranhas and salamanders.

Lovely park! The council and local groups do a great job of maintaining the park. Parking can be an issue when busy, but there are a plethora of transport options other than by car. Just be thoughtful to local residents and park considerately. Along with my visit to the park, I attended the Monet Gardens which were a pleasant surprise. You don't often find such a great addition to a council park. LCC have done a wonderful job with the reconstruction of their Chelsea Flower Show contributions. I think the park offers everyone a great day out. You will never be bored when visiting here, there is an abundance of history located all over the park and events are regularly held across the year.

Lovely park with two cafes, ice cream van and coffee kiosk. Two lakes , Children s playground, and a lovely sense of space. Car parking can be at a premium at weekends. Pubs nearby for after walk meals and Tropical World over the road . Land train runs in summer / holidays

Kids, adults loved it. When u go inside suggest for kids to wear shorts and loose clothing as it gets hot in there.. Lovely animals to see. Cheap tickets. Carers got in free. Children under 5 free. Awesome for a visit in summer holidays or whenever u want to go out.

Park doesn’t do it justice - it’s both huge and varied. Lakes, hills, forests, playgrounds (yes, all plural) not to mention a mansion, folly and ‘train’. If you expect to get around all of it in your me go then you’ve made an error. Pick your side and destination and then enjoy. It’s not all perfect, one of the lakes is a bit worse for wear and stagnant, though it still has nesting swans. And yes, the carnival is right next to one of the play parks. It was also hard to find any ice cream on a bank holiday. But also the place was so big that despite loads of people being there it was easy to find your own space. Given it is the biggest city park in Europe that’s not surprising, how big it really is was surprising! Well worth a visit.

Huge place with a house and a lake or two. I loved the woodland walk, was so beautiful! Adjacent to a large golf course.

Gorgeous mix of modern and traditional. Park, woodlands and beautiful lakeside walks with plenty of nature to be spotted. Geese, ducks, herons and more. Dotted with the odd bit of history from it’s former hunting park days. One of the largest urban parks in Europe I hear…

I had a wonderful time visiting here today. The weather was perfect. The park is really good for nature lovers and families alike. I particularly enjoyed taking a leisurely stroll around the lakes, and the variety of wildlife I spotted was a pleasant surprise. Can’t wait to visit again. 🌳🦆🌞

Ticks all the boxes. Forests, water, hills and trails, castle remains, and lots of fantastic places to eat or drink within walking distance. Great for families! And be a responsible dog owner and keep dogs on leads because some dogs might not be as nice as our own so be mindful. And please clean up after them!

I recently visited Roundhay Park in Leeds, and I was captivated by its picturesque views. The well-maintained surroundings added to the charm, providing a serene escape. The presence of ducks and swans by the tranquil waters added a delightful touch, creating a perfect setting for a peaceful day outdoors.

Had such an incredible time at Roundhay Park this morning! I went on a run here with a few of my friends and it was just stunning. Beautiful lakes, greenery and wildlife all round! I would definitely visit again.

Best place for walk.

Gorgeous, it really feels like you're in a European city. The best part is how close it is to the city. We had a meal at the Lakeside cafe and then went on a walk. It was peaceful, and so perfect for some fresh air during Covid times. You could also buy some swan food and feed them - a great activity for the kiddies. There's plenty of parking and lots of green space for exercise or just picnicking. The café has covid-safe toilets for the public.

Superb track along with the lake !!! One round daily will keep you fit and healthy!!!!

Loved it since I first moved to Leeds in 1948!

Incredible green space! Large, vast well cared for parkland to roam and lose yourself within. Free admission and free parking to boot! Has two lakes, one with a fountain; lots of waterfowl and wildlife - saw a noisy, hammering woodpecker; lots of historical detailing; stumpery; outdoor gym; fairy garden; fabulous vistas; lots of variety of trees; waterfall; kids trail; play area; the Mansion restaurant; loos; assorted individual gardens.... have I missed anything.... probably! Has so much to offer everyone. Good and many pathways that are buggy and wheelchair friendly. There is also Tropical World, but there is an entry fee for that. This also has a café. First visit here but won't be my last as thoroughly enjoyed myself. Highly recommended.

What a great time we had! Loved the views and well-tended lawns. The Tropical House was pretty good as well. Being from South America, I was familiar with most of the animals there, but that only made it feel like home, especially the simulated humid environment. We sat on the grass and had a picnic and let the kids run around. It was a lovely family time. And best of all, the toilets were open.

Large, easy to access urban park opposite Tropical World - which is very well worth seeing in its own right - with plenty of scope for children, walkers, dogs and the disabled. It often houses large concerts. There is a cafe in Tropical World and a larger one in the park set on the edge of the big lake which itself has boats for hire during warmer months. Parking is free and available at two entrances but fills up quickly at weekends and bank holidays. Additional parking can be found in Street Lane, adjacent to the Park and Soldiers Fields, along Park Road or off many of the streets nearby on which there are limited restrictions, unlike many other similar parks. Very pleasant setting and an uplifting oasis of attractive space only a short distance from shops. Photos are from the lovely gardens set opposite the Mansion House which has a number of different themed gardens within it which are well worth seeing.

Excellent park. Much bigger than you would imagine with hidden gems.

Amazing place! Best park i had pleasure to visit in England. Very big and clean. Perfect for early morning walk,wonderful start to the day. Thank you ☺️

Roundhay park is a huge public space. With beautiful lakes and fountains. There are also wooded areas. One or two of the slopes are a bit steep for a manual wheelchair but there is always another way to get to where you want so we discovered. On the website I think there is a downloadable map. I really enjoyed the time I spent there. There is at least one cafe but I never went in so can't help with that. I never saw any public toilets either but again we didn't have much time to explore. The canal garden was lovely with fountains and a statue and a less formal layout. There were rose beds through a gate from the canal garden. Soany beautiful roses in bloom. We also found an area much more wild with fox gloves in bloom.

Very big Park in Leeds, you can spend most your time here... walking path is very smooth. There's a cricket ground, a little play gym for kids, water side, beautiful views, best place for picnic with friends and family, excellent car parking, Ice cream station and food cafe area 😋 10/10... Best place to get relax and spend the time for yourself... There's a tropical garden near by.. if you are fancy for a little zoo type...

The park is beautiful in general. We went last night for the Christmas lights and wow what a waste of money! 19.50 for some lights and music and they have even charged 15 pounds for children. Was a little a bit over the top? The whole experience was pretty good and a nice family evening out.

Lovely, relaxing walk around the lake on an Autumnal day. Make sure you bring suitable footwear in winter months as some of the paths can be quite muddy.

A place of excellence, peace and a friendly atmosphere. Resonates well with weekends and holidays. Roundhay Park is beautiful for all ages. Diversity is seen everywhere at Roundhay Park. It is a well maintained park.

A lovely, vast place to walk, very little if any litter as there are plenty of bins which are obviously emptied regularly. There are lots of runners for the Park Run as the hills make a good route. Lots of polite, safe, non-paranoid, non-neurotic dog walkers which means its a great place to socialise a puppy. There are lots of birds, including swans, ducks, cormorants, herons, coots and robins, as well as other more timid wildlife. They're mostly quite used to the foot traffic and will ignore the public (or pose for pictures in a tree)! In the wet season it gets very muddy which obviously dogs and kids love, but those unsteady on their feet might be wiser to stick to the pavemented paths rather than venture to the far side of the lake. Great spaces for children's football, rugby, there are a few play parks, there's a nice cafe by the lake which is reasonably priced. I couldn't tell you if dogs are allowed in the cafe though as we ended our walk today elsewhere and it's the first time we've been with the dog.

A fantastic park ,a great park for a long walk and big enough to escape for some peace and quiet and there are excellent purveyors of food and drinks at the lakeside cafe or the mansion .

A vast and diverse park to wander through. From water features, to gorgeous architecture, old woods and open spaces the park offers absolutely everything. Fantastic spots to eat are dotted about as well.

The lakes in Roundhay Park are some of my favourite places to visit all year round. So much wildlife and natural beauty. Great place to jog too as both Waterloo and Fountain lakes are flat. There are often people walking their dogs even first thing on a morning so I usually feel really safe. They're are playgrounds for families to use or parents to meet up. The lakeside cafe is a gorgeous cafe. Positioned on the edge of the large lake, it offers good food and bathroom facilities, whilst holding the most delightful position to watch the sunsetting over the lake.

As an international student at Leeds University, I think this is a very suitable place to ride. From the university to Langdehai Park, it is basically a uphill road, which is a test. You can also play football in the physical park.

Even in winter there's something to see or do here. A walk around the lake is just what you need.

Always a lovely scenic walk with two playgrounds, Lake with ducks and cafe to occupy the kids. Nice starbucks 5 minute walk away, too. The gardens are lovely too with recreations of past Chelsea Flower show installed within. Tropical Word is currently shut but has a new cafe that looks fab when it reopens.

Great place to visit. Whether looking for a nice walk, some fresh air, exercise or just going outdoors that's the place to go!

Nice walk. Big park. Didn't feel over crowded and a nice place for a hot chocolate at the lakeside takeaway. A little muddy in places. Wellies are needed.

A wonderful park full of character and adventure with many walks round two lakes, woodland and streams. Cafes for walkers, Childrens play area for kids, gardens full of exotic plants for those intetested in horticulture, it is a park for everyone.

Calming space with lakes and rivers to walk around. So much space so close to Leeds City Center. A great place to go with all the family.

Lovely walk around the lake. But social distancing difficult in some places as path is narrow and some people don't respect others space. Good for walkers, dogs and children. If you are running go early or late as it can get busy mid day and is more difficult to avoid walkers.

Nice walk.

Quite a big park that has everything you could ask for. 2 big lakes with swans and ducks. Football pitches. Kantine for drinks and food. And the park itself is well designed. Worth a visit

Great place for fishing walking etc

Loved it

Lovely park to walk and to take your kids there

Good fun

Very nice place to relax

Lovely place to have a walk. Great that's it's got free parking so people can experience this beautiful area from further a field.

😍

Always a delight.

Love to go this park with my family.

A large park, good for walks, rides by bikes, for run. Excellent for everyone. Have free car parking. Great for picnics!

It's great to hang about about I loved the chilled

Good

Loved the walk around the lake despite the slightly slippery conditions in places, pleasantly surprised by the wildlife and some of the hidden away follies. ☺

A beautiful park and also, next to the children's playground, there is ICECREAM!😆

Amazing park, great to bring the whole family or for your solo runs. Be careful running around the lake as it can be very muddy. Amazing views and and amazing scenery, what more can you ask for. Greta big park which Accommodates everyone. There is parking and a small cafe. There are dog walkers but they are very well trained so nothing to worry about.

Nice big park that's got a bit of everything. Plenty of grassy open space, with hard paths and trails leading around two lakes and through some wooded areas. Has the potential for some decent routes up to 10k with footpaths leading further into the countryside to add to this. There's a cafe and kids play area at the parking beside the larger lake too.

My first time walking around the lake. It's beautiful and we were lucky with a fantastic sunny winters day with a frozen lake! Looking forward to visiting again. (It was very icy at parts - caused a few scary moments for kids and adults alike - so be careful).

Walking around the larger lake at Roundhay Park is always lovely but please wear sensible shoes as parts of the path can be muddy and slippery after heavy rainfall. As long as you are careful you can have a really enjoyable walk enjoying the surroundings. Well worth a bit of mud on the shoes and at the foot of your trousers.

Love walking round the lake. Not busy as people are obviously taking lockdown rules seriously. Great place for fresh air and excersise and kids love it.

Massive with lots of nice walks and different kinds of areas all in the same park. It can be quite crowded, especially the areas for children!!!! The park is very well maintained, and I love all the seats and rest areas around the park!

Beautiful place to come all seasons can bring dogs family etc. Beautiful gardens different walks and very spacious. Nice cafe as well

Good wide open spaces allowing for nice walks. Swans, ducks and gulls at the lake and squirrels in the trees. A nice place for people of any age as there are age appropriate playgrounds for children of all ages.

Roundhay park has abit of everything for everyone, if it’s fitness and running it has great hills and lakes to run around or if you want to go for a nice walk and a coffee you can do that too! Me and my partner love going for walks around the lake

Much to explore, many trails and two lakes!

Best park

Very nice park but the paths and walkways need a bit of attention. It was muddy in places which made it very slippery.

Very muddy walking around the lake due to a lot more people taking advantage of the good weather.

Love Roundhay Park, nice walk around the lake. Or explore the woods.

Wonderful good for the sole

Beautiful park with amazing wildlife

Walked around the lake ,ice cream from lakeside cafe selling outside,delicious a little expensive though had a lovely afternoon .

Busy but as always nice and clean

Beautiful place!!

Always an wonderful park 🥰

Lovely warm February walk but very busy

Lockdown ... what lockdown! Very very busy today but beautiful in the spring sunshine.

Lovely place to take the kids and dogs

Great space, wide range of accessible paths. Only mansion toilets open this weekend. Busy.

The children's play area is fantastic and the ice cream van sells vegan ice cream.

Good park to go, a nice walk around the lake.

Beautiful!

Huge park, well maintained and lots of little hide outs

good day

Great place for a wander and large enough to spend a whole day, plenty of places to grab a drink or some grub. Also plenty of space to have a picnic, play some out door sports... plenty of wild life. And lots of parking dotted around the park. To great lakes to walk round. And plenty of woodland walks.

Had a fantastic walk around Roundhay Park today in the sunshine and even stopped for Yorkshire Ice cream. Lovely to see that the lake has been cleaned up since our last visit and it is a brilliant gem in the city! Would highly recommend!

Went for the annual dragon boat race..it was a lovely day out with lots of teams competing.. good fun and great weather.

Lovely, big and clean. Well pathed and a lovely little playground. Several free car parks, a cricket green, a flower garden,a small and a large lake to walk around, small wooded area with a cute fairy house and more!

Most serene parks to enjoy a good chat, walk or even some outdoor activities. One gets amazed by the landscape it has to offer for viewing. A breath of fresh and pure air fills you with positive energy that keeps you going beyond the visit.

Cool place, nice place to go with young children and the animals and other creatures here seem very happy !

Favourite spot with the grandchildren - they love it! Playground has lots to do with 2 climbing frames, swings, roundabouts, play train and fun circuit. Ice cream van even does non-dairy ice cream (with the usual). Beautiful lake with lots of swans, ducks etc, lovely walks, a little 'castle. So many different areas to explore, and a few delightful cafes to choose from.

Most favourite park of all-time! So big, so pleasant. Lots of different environments and hide away spaces for quiet time. Highly recommend, especially on a sunny day!

Massive park, loads to do. Fairy trail is really good, loads of ducks and swans. Little train you can get an any time return trip ride on too and good cafe restaurant and loads of free parking space.

Nice park to walk,chill out with families,great for playing football, tennis,etc,even picnic 😁,close to City centre and very close to Tropical World

A gorgeous open space with a cricket pavillion, road train, and plenty of shade for warmer days. I enjoyed a picnic on top of the hill in the middle of the park from where I took the attached photo. Truly serene.

Hi ,although quite a distance from us Roundhay Park in Leeds is just lovely, the walk round the main lake,1of2 is just the right length to feel refreshed and it's not muddy just a couple of parts that can need proper walking shoes. Kids love it , the mass of swans are a sight to behold and it brings back my childhood memories from the 50's and 60's of the schools converging here for children's sports day . Oh exciting times then.

Roundhay Park is massive. That's the simple explanation. I still haven't explored it all and I've lived in Leeds since I was 3. I'm now 36. This little excursion was in the teeming rain and we had a quick jaunt around the Specialist Gardens. Despite the dank, cold weather, the gardens we're a triumph. The bird song was trilling and I love the jarring randomness of a full lock. Not on a canal. Nice work! A lovely way to spend 30 minutes whatever the weather after we had visited Tropical World

Fabulous accessible place, various types of scenery, undulations but nothing overly strenuous. Nice Cafe too.

Excellent day out butterfly world then park bonus food fair and bands on

Excellent place to spend a day with the family. Spent the afternoon in the sun and shade with the family. Boys playing football and a walk around the lake with the girl's and a picnic to finish a lovely day. Clean and very peaceful

Great park, especially loved the woodsy geology trails north of main lake in the park and the area around the canal gardens in the west. Nice restrooms available near the cafes, lots of shade along many of the paths. Kids will enjoy the Fairy Houses in the woods just north of the upper lake.

Always a great pleasure going to round bay park. The pride of leeds, round bay park is an amazing place to relax and enjoy the scenic nature scenes. Offering the vast acres of fields and a beautiful lake to walk around. I love coming here whenever I have time to destress and become one with nature and myself.
