About Reinwood Recreation Ground
Reinwood Recreation Ground lies on New Hey Road in Lindley, on the western side of Huddersfield, and covers around 7.4 acres of open playing field popular with local walkers and runners. It is managed by Kirklees Council and is a free, open-access neighbourhood recreation ground. The children's play area has been taken into the council's Playable Spaces programme, with a redesign bringing in new equipment chosen to cater for multiple ages and abilities; the site's play features include a climbing frame, slides and monkey bars, together with a basketball area fitted with a single hoop for older children. The improvement scheme also adds new seating, including picnic benches, and a dedicated teen seating area, while a shelter stands at the edge of the grass field. Because the recreation ground is centred on a large grass playing field with a compact play area, it suits families looking for a relaxed local green space for play and a kickabout rather than the cafe-and-gardens facilities of a larger destination park. Some equipment reflects the council's refurbishment design following a public consultation.
