Things to Do
Dog Walking
Farsley Recreation Ground is made for a good dog walk. With lots of open green spaces, particularly behind the park, you can let the pooch run free without a worry.
Playground
The children’s play area is enclosed and big with lots of installations to enjoy. Slides, swings, climbing frames and what we like to call bouncers and spinners – those dizzy games that get the belly dropping!
Ball Games
With so much open green space for people to use we recommend you bring some games to play with your friends or family. Especially the ones that don’t need much equipment like football and frisbee. If you’ve got lots of hands you could bring the cricket set!
Cycling
The quarter of a mile flat pathed loop around the recreation ground is a perfect place for the little ones to practice riding the cycle or scooter. Use the four sides as a visual target to set challenges like supporting them to ride unaided for the first time.
