This page provides details of proposals for new developments in the Parks and Countryside Service and a chance for the public to comment on them.
Current consultations
Community Parks
There are
65 community parks in Leeds which are managed by Leeds City Council. Over the next few years we are working to develop a plan for each of these parks based on the thoughts and opinions of local people to ensure they are the best they can be. The plan will then be the vision for if and when funding becomes available.
You can
complete the online consultation for Woodhouse Ridge until 20 February 2024.
If you need a paper copy of the survey or for more information, email
parks@leeds.gov.uk or call 0113 378 6002.
In 2024, we will be consulting on vision plans for the following community parks: Whinmoor Park, Banstead Park, Cross Flatts Park, Seacroft Gardens, Rein Park, Nowell Mount, Grove Hill Park, Wortley Recreation Ground, Gotts Park, Hartley Avenue Park, Tennant Hall POS (aka Blackman Lane Park) and Hainsworth Park.
There will also be the opportunity to come to talk to us in person at and near the parks. More information will be available nearer the time.
We are currently compiling the data from the recently completed consultations on East End, Harehills and Burley Parks.
Closed consultations
Play areas
Cranmer Recreation Ground, Alwoodley
We consulted on these proposals because we want to improve the playground and facilities, but we need to know what local people think of the existing play area and what improvements they would like to see. This will help the council apply for grants to help pay for any works.
Car parking charges
We consulted on these proposals because we are keen to understand the views of Leeds residents and users of the car parks.
Middleton, Roundhay and Temple Newsam
We consulted on proposals to introduce modest car parking charges to meet the cost of maintaining car parking services at Middleton Park, Roundhay Park and Temple Newsam Estate and to deliver a programme of improvements to the car parks at this site.
We are currently facing a budget shortfall of over £35 million this financial year alone due to factors beyond our control, including inflation and the price of energy. The proposed charges would help support the costs incurred from maintaining and improving the car parks.
Golden Acre
We consulted on the proposal to introduce modest car parking charges to meet the cost of maintaining car parking services at Golden Acre Park and to deliver a programme of improvements to the car parks at this site.
Without further action, we are facing a budget shortfall of nearly £35 million this financial year alone due to factors beyond our control including inflation and the price of energy. The proposed charges would help reduce the costs incurred from maintaining and improving the car park.
Otley Chevin
We consulted on the proposal to introduce modest car parking charges to meet the cost of maintaining car parking services at Otley Chevin Forest Park and to deliver a programme of improvements to the car parks at this site.
Without further action, we are facing a budget shortfall of nearly £35 million this financial year alone due to factors beyond our control including inflation and the price of energy. The proposed charges would help reduce the costs incurred from maintaining and improving the car park.
