Hainsworth Park

Farsley is located 6-miles to the west of Leeds city centre. It is one of Leeds most up and coming creative suburbs. Over the last decade it has boomed into life with a wave of local businesses opening.

Playground

Local residents are fundraising to renovate the playground. New equipment will be installed in the playground – some of which will be accessible – this includes: a roundabout, swings, seesaw, rockers, wobble board and trim trail. The aim is to make play more accessible and inclusive to all children, including those with additional needs.

Another part of the regeneration will include the planting of new trees to create a natural landscape that enables physically adventurous play in nature. This will be located next to the traditional playground – blending the old with the new, the manmade with nature.
