Food and Drink
There aren’t any food and drink options in the immediate surrounding area.
We recommend you travel to the opposite side of York Road on Harehills Lane. Here there are a number of takeaway restaurants on this road, like the Caribbean Creative Cuisine.
Parking
Park for free on the roadside on the edge of the playing fields on Osmondthorpe Lane, LS9 OJL (Google Map Directions)
Access
The playing fields are accessible to a wheelchair and pushchair user dependent on the weather conditions.
As the surface is solely grass so in poor weather it may become difficult to navigate in a wheelchair or pushchair.
