About Chapel Allerton Park
Chapel Allerton Park is a green space about two miles from Leeds city centre, just off Harrogate Road in the Chapel Allerton ward, managed by Leeds City Council. The playground sits in the middle of a long green space with views over Gledhow Valley. A group of volunteers known as 'Chapel A Play' fundraised to install a new playground, which opened in November 2023. The open-plan, unfenced play area includes a trim trail, a hill slide and climber, sound and movement sensory orbs, a bank slide, see-saws, a new climbing frame and a roundabout. At the top end of the park there is a medley of play and physical activity stations suited to all ages. The park also offers a range of sports facilities, including a bowls court, basketball court and tennis court.
