About

Roundhay Park covers over 700 acres of parkland, lakes and woodland and is one of the largest urban parks in the world. The Park has a scented garden for the blind, National Plant Collections, Canal Gardens, the Monet and Alhambra Gardens, plus Tropical World which attracts visitors all year round. Opened in 2005 is the Friends Garden, located alongside Canal Gardens and the Rainbow Garden. In the 21st century, following extensive renovations to the park an area of award winning 'Chelsea Gardens' was created where gardens created for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show have been rebuilt for all to enjoy in the 'Speciality Gardens' area just off Mansion Lane.

Biggest city park in UK and good access

Roundhay park is the biggest city park in the UK, and with two lakes, various gardens, wildlife and walks it's a great place to visit. There is also Tropical World over the road and the Mansion House to visit. They have paved paths all around the park, although these can get muddy when it's wet weather. Beautiful place to visit and very family friendly.
