  • Steve Gilbert

Superb place to visit in Leeds. The farm is good for kids to learn aspects of farming and how a farm uses to operate years ago. Also, a barn has been used to create a large hay maze that the kids can run around on top of. Temple Newsam house is a real gem, more for the adult visitor rather than children, but older children would probably enjoy it. It's a superb example of a house of its period and the tour is well worth the money. It's also a reasonable price to enter. At the latter part of the year they do a 'twighlight' tour that explores the cellars, all a bit spooky but good fun. Great cafe and gift shop too with friendly staff, and a really great play park next to the car park. Lastly the park is beautiful in any weather, if you do go, try to explore all of it, especially the walled garden and its greenhouse and the ponds and woodlands. There's also a 'GoApe' section of the woods next to the car park for the visitor looking for a more extreme day out

A very large park that is popular with Leeds' many different peoples, I walk the dog here at least once a day and give her a treat from the Stables cafe, the park itself is in parts quite tatty, but Leeds city council does not employ enough staff to clear away the endless leaf detrius and broken branches and trees that are now falling like dominoes which are a safety hazard littering the most popular walking areas. My other bugbear is the state of the house and paths walls which are seriously falling apart, bits are being done, but not enough to stop serious deterioration to the infrastructure, the shameful state of a once fabulous gift to the city.

  • Anne Stagg Hypnotherapy

I didn’t get to Temple Newsam to see the rhododendrons as planned this year, but did manage to fit in a quick visit today. The grounds really are magnificent! I love the walled garden and the many paths which lead around the estate. We also visited the tea rooms for a late lunch-friendly staff and lovely food; generous portion sizes too. You can explore the grounds for free but there are charges to visit the house, farm and Go Ape (we passed this as we headed back to eat-looks like great fun!) Parking is free except for the carpark nearest the drive in entrance which is £4.70; this can be paid online or by visiting the gift shop. Recommended!

  • Ian White

This is a large park with loads of green space and good play areas. The farm is £4 for Adults and £2.70 for children with under 5’s free. The farm is really good and has a play area that is only accessible from the farm. There are lots of cobbles so even though it has disabled access it is very bumpy. The cafe is reasonable, the shop is very over priced - £2.75 for a jumbo cookie, £2.50 for a caramel slice. There is lots of outdoor space for eating, but if it is wet there is not enough indoor space on busy days. There is also a ‘go-ape’ adventure and you can pay extra to go into the house if you feel the need. Have fun!

  • Steven Morgan

It must be one of Leeds city councils gems massive park area with woodland with follies rodededrum different types of cattle in the fields a farm area for children to visit ponds play areas .There are just endless out door opportunities lots of events all year round !! The house views on to the house are spectacular what a stunning build beautiful to wander through its rooms and halls wow just wow .Come and see this gem any time of year you will be amazed and it belongs to the city of leeds .Now the children play ground is safe safe good fun

  • Will

Beautiful area. Full of beautiful plants and wildlife. I saw many species' of plants and animals there (including a wild deer) and had a wonderful time walking more than ten miles in its vast expanse. I highly, highly recommend. It makes a great outing for people of all ages and is definitely suitable for trained dogs where they can happily run off lead. There are also some pretty streams and lakes to look at.

  • Ed Clark-Steel

Farm area visit. Not too expensive, although disappointed they didn't have John deer peddle tractors open, that area under renovation with the promise of a new kids area to come. Educational play area still looking a bit run down, and no bees to view, piglets were cool. Hope the price doesn't go up when they reopen the area. Main play park also could do with some tlc, pully out of service this week.

  • Toby “Toby C5” C

It's a decent venue with a range of attractions (farm, go ape, playground, courtyard Market, manner house and gardens). The house is priced lower than its national trust or HHA equivalent, however the extensive grounds are free to visitors, therefore great value. There is plenty of space to fly a kite or kick a ball about if you need to exercise children and teens alike.

  • Alison

Very nice. Took my fiends dog out for a walk not knowing the grounds. Sound myself exploring the trails and paths. Grounds are very well kept and the wildlife seems very happy. Great of you want to have a long walk or exercise with views.
Dog-friendliness
Lots to explore and plenty of poop bins
Picnic area
Lots of places to set down.

  • Deborah Hunt

A fabulous friendly park where I walk my dog daily. Some great circular walks through fields, along tracks and through some fabulous woodland. Also good tarmac paths within the central part of the park. A children's playground, 3 small lakes, shops, cafe and farm for the little ones. Easy parking with lots of car parks one of which is chargeable.

  • Josh Wilson

An amazing place but what a disgraceful amount of rubbish there is there today after a festival last night. Hardly anyone out clearing it up and the pigs are currently eating plastic bags and chewing on empty cans of Heineken. If you’re going to put on a festival at least make arrangements to clear up expeditiously.

  • James Threapleton

Great afternoon visit here. Really nice well preserved Elizabethan house. I think it's older in places, but predominantly it's of this style. Many of the furniture and fittings are original which is rare in many houses of this age. Fantastic expansive grounds, walled garden and farmyard animals for kids.

  • Mo A

One of the best parks in Leeds, it's a great place to bring the kids, going for walks and activities. Plenty of parking and a variety of events in the peak months. If you're into photography you can find some great shots here which include shots of the cityscape in certain areas. Highly recommended.

  • Colin Ward

Beautiful place to visit and loads to do and see had a few farm visits with the kids and many of walks around the estate with some beautiful views. Next stop will be the house tour can't wait. Has a long history which is very interesting to learn about. For a family day out I highly recommend

  • D B

Tired tired tired! Needs completely pulling down and a new play area in its place. This park is next to the main car park for the temple newsam estate. It's visited all day long and is so worn out. Lots of damaged equipment, rotting wooden features, and peeling paint .

  • Alexander Fraser

Great to walk and is very nice. The house isn't cheap but is amazing inside. Free parking and lots of places to walk. All ways an ice cream van there and a nice cafe. Park run on Saturdays which is fun and there is always space for a picnic and place for kids to play.

  • a d

One of my favourite places in Leeds. It has a farm, brilliant playground, lots of open space, lakes, woods and other walks and adventure tales. Never get bored of templenewsham. Only thing. The farm,and the house,close on Monday, as do most leeds city council places.

  • Carl Stafford

Grown up round the corner and it always amazes me this place to say its in such a big city as Leeds, when your here you really wouldn't think so, especially on a crisp winters morning or a warm summer evening. Lots of things to do or not to do.

  • Tony Horwell

Fantastic Park located a short distance East of Leeds. Easy access from the A1/M1 link road. Clean & tidy, great gardens, park run, Manor house Museum, reasonable price & a good day out. Small farm to occupy the little ones. Well worth a visit.

  • Richard Black

Great spot. Free parking & lovely grounds. Courtyard and shop is pleasant and keenly priced. Farmyard is well worth a visit especially when it's lambing season. Kids play area is large and, there is lots of space for dog walking and picnics.

  • Chris Barlow

Amazing place. We love feeding ducks, the country walks, the rose garden and victorian glasshouse, the cafe, the farm, the play area, the allotment area , the large open grasslands and free parking!. As a family we attend Temple Newsam park

  • Mr Smith Locksmiths

Don't go as often as I could, cosindering it's not far. Went with my children today, walking our dog and enjoying an ice cream in the shade. It's really great for a walk around with family and or friends, there's a cafe to get refreshment

  • James Smith

The best public park in Leeds but as all public spaces, there is not the money to maintain the place. Also they allow the staff to park adjacent to the Elizabethan house. So if you like to take pictures. Then this is a big let down.

  • Will

Nice place, 3 car parks(1 pay and display others are free) good for a nice walk mainly tarmac paths so good for prams and stuff. Cafe and toilets available and a farm at an extra cost.All social distancing measures in place.

  • Jesus Love

Heritage Square is a charming park with a touch of history. The preserved architecture and informative plaques provide a glimpse into the past. It's a great place for a leisurely stroll and to soak in some local culture.

  • Mick Belford

Temple Newsam is a lovely park with something for everyone. Lots of open spaces for playing, great for walking, a cafe, a farm for the kids, great mountain biking, lovely gardens and a fantastic period house to explore.

  • Joff Sheppard

Beautiful park and grounds, House is impressive and farm is great for kids. Visited the newly refurbished cafe but found it to be on expensive side for what you get and choice is very limited so was left disappointed.

  • Jennifer Peers

There was a lot off rubbish in the pond but it's a nice park lots of places to walk
Dog-friendliness
Lots off room to run off lead and play fetch watch out lots of squirrels near the go ape end off the park

  • paul peer

In many many ways the best park in Leeds. Loads of history. Fantastic walks great for kids and fogs. Nice cafe but Leeds City council run it so a tad pricy. Nice staff though well worth a visit. Go just go.

  • Marie Horner

Really lovely park on the edge of the city with great walks. Would be even better without all the discarded rubbish everywhere. Managed to fill one carrier in just 6 minutes of walking. Such a shame.

  • Ron Richardson

Good place to take ur dog's for a day out nice walk round the lake also plenty of grass areas. Nice for picnics with family& friends there is a place for food. Also play area for children. Xxx

  • Gillian L Cohen

A big green space on the outskirts of Leeds. There are acres of grassland where you can simply picnic and play games, there is the house and farm to visit, and the gardens, lake and walks.

  • Admire Bowa

Very nice big spacious park. Lots of goats cattle and sheep. You can pet some. They have pigs as well. It's a really big place and lots of events are held there all through the year.

  • Rusty James

Great place for the family day out. The cafe has had a makeover too and although it has lost some of the homely feel, it's much more functional, which is great with a family in tow.

  • Derry Canning

Outstanding area of heritage and natural beauty that is free for dogwalkers and hikers. The farm and house tours are understandably extra, but it can be a day out on any budget.

  • Explore With Son & Me

Lovely place for a walk. We walked 5km with our 7 month old baby in our all terrain pram and it was a great walk. We parked in one of the free car parks and had a lovely walk.

Great big park. Large house,home farm ,Go Ape tree top experience.walled garden for quiet time is my favourite bit.dogs allowed and kids can play football as plenty of space.

  • Neil Wilson

Superb for a brisk walk and the staff have made it easier for us to get round the woodland paths but why are there no ducks and only one Swan on the lakes???
