About Calverley Lane Park
Calverley Lane Park is a small recreation ground on Calverley Lane, on the edge of Calverley towards Horsforth in the north-west of the Leeds district, managed by Leeds City Council. It is a relaxed, local green space that suits families looking for a simple play-and-run-around visit rather than a day of attractions. The children's playground is predominantly wood-built and divided into two sections aimed at toddlers and small children, with a slide, climbing frames, balancing beams and swings, including a big bucket swing for larger children. Around the play area there is a generous expanse of open green space that is well suited to ball games such as football, rugby, rounders and frisbee, as well as a cricket pitch used in season. A well-maintained footpath connects the park's entrances and winds through the grounds, giving an easy route for walks and buggies, although the grass and paths can become muddy after rain. Dogs are permitted and dog waste bins are provided. There are no toilets or a cafe within the park, but the Railway Inn is just around the corner for refreshments. With its wooden play equipment and plenty of room to roam, Calverley Lane Park is a pleasant neighbourhood spot for younger children.
