Location

Hunslet is an inner-city area of south Leeds. It is located 1-mile south-east of Leeds city centre. Hunslet has a strong industrial history.

Things to Do

Playground

The playground got a makeover as recent as 2022. The improvements to the park included the installation of new swings, tumble over bars, stepping pods, play markings and a balance beam.

MUGA

There is a concrete multi-use-games-area that is good for a game of basketball and football. The court is enclosed by fencing, so it is suitable for competitive small sided games.

Football

The MUGA is also great space for a game of five-a-side futsal. In 2023 a new 5-a-side goal was installed in it.

Walking

At just shy of 5-acres the park is big enough to get out and stretch your legs on a short walk. It also makes for a really lovely place to take your dog for a walk.

Picnic

On a sunny day Hunslet Lake Park makes for a pleasant place to have a picnic. If you need to stock up on picnic provisions, there is a supermarket just up the road off the Tunstall Road roundabout.

History

Ever since its early days Hunslet has been the ‘Workshop of Leeds’. The area around the park was part of the coal mining communities in the south of the city.

The extensive infrastructure projects supported by road and rail – Middleton Railway is the oldest working railway since 1758 and is next to Hunslet Lake Park has made a big impression on the local community.

The park was upgraded in 2022 to improve the park facilities and biodiversity through better tree coverage.

Amenities

The nearest public toilet is over the road at the Engine pub.

There are dog and rubbish waste bins in the park.

A couple of benches can be found in the park.

Food and Drink

There aren’t many food and drink options in the immediate area. The next best place to go is the opposite side of the M621 on Dewsbury Road – a choice pick here is Bison Steakhouse.

Parking

Park for free opposite the park in the Engine pub car park, LS10 2JJ (Google Map Directions)
