Exercise

The common has an outdoor gym area where you can workout for free. The machines work everything from the arms down to the legs and everything in-between. It’s even better with a workout buddy!

Ball Games

A ball and a few jumpers for goal posts is all you need to get a game going with your family and friends.

Horse

The rights of the common land haven’t passed by the horse you’ll see grazing on the land. There’s nothing stopping you saying hello and bringing a few crunchy treats down with you.

Mural

The English Fisheries chip shop on the edge of the park has really gone big in bringing the nations favourite dish to life. On the side of the building is a multi-coloured mural that brings the memories of the seaside to mind. You can taste the salt and vinegar just looking at it!

Benches

Benches are simple things but when added to a place like Armley Moor they can become pretty special. Armley is a busy part of the city and the benches in the middle of the common are rest bite from the rat race. With the high rises climbing and areas like Horsforth sprawling in the distance it makes for a great spot of reflection.

It added a bit of light relief from the back breaking labour of mill working.
