This Leeds park is 'perfect'
Covering 700 cares of parkland with lakes and woodlands, cafes, playgrounds and the famous Tropical World, Roundhay Park is a gem for both residents and visitors to Leeds. Located three miles north of the city centre, the park is often full of families, children and older people out for a stroll.
LeedsLive spoke to a gentleman named David Eric, 72, who said he has been coming to Roundhay for years, despite living in Aberford. William granted the lands on which the park stands to an old Norman family named de Lacy, Ilbert de Lacy was given the lands for his support during William's conquests to bring the northern parts of England under Norman control.
Over 10 years, £15,000 was spent disguising the former industrial areas including coal mines and quarries by flooding them. The Mansion house which can be seen in the park was built between 1811 and 1826. A record crowd of 80,000 watched a rugby league sevens match between England and Australia in the park in 1933, won 29–11 by Australia. Plus, the area was once home to an open-air swimming pool
