Queens Park

Queens Park is located in the centre of Pudsey. Pudsey is a town situated smack bang between Bradford and Leeds city centre.

Here’s our list of the best things to do at Queens Park:

Walking

Recently the paths have been upgraded to make them more accessible for everyone. This also makes for a more pleasant walk around the park without getting covered in mud. You can clock just over half a mile walking this route around the perimetre of the park.

Playground

The children’s playground has swings, slides and a roundabout to keep them entertained for a couple of hours.

Football

There’s 6 football pitches with fixed goals at Queens Park. Two are adult sized and 4 are junior sized. Pudsey Juniors AFC play their football here, for information around joining head to their website.

MUGA

In the corner of Queens Park is a concrete MUGA surface with basketball markings. Bring a ball along and get stuck into some dribbling.

Outdoor Gym

The park has had an outdoor trim trail installed. It’s a multi-purpose track that leads you on from one piece of gym equipment to another. Each piece targets a different muscle group. Which makes this outdoor gym the ideal free alternative to a gym membership.

Orchard

In the corner of the park is a community orchard that contains a decent number of fruit trees.

It might be a football park but cricket rules the roost in Pudsey…

Pudsey has been big into its cricket since the 19th century. It’s produced some of the best cricketers Yorkshire and England have ever seen. Sir Len Hutton, Herbert Sutcliffe, Ray Illingworth and Matthew Hoggard all learned their cricketing trade in the town.

The nearest toilet can be found down the bottom of Victoria Road at the Marsh Inn pub.

At the top end of the park travel is Cemetery Road. This road will take you to a couple of choice eateries that are in walking distance of Queens Park. Head east along Cemetery Road and you will come to the Jade Dragon – a tasty and very accommodating sit down or takeaway Chinese. If you want something a little different these guys are prepared to rustle it up.

If you take Cemetery Road west you’ll come to Petty’s Fish and Chips. With the warm greeting always comes the request of how you like your fish done. We love how attentive these guys are to your frying needs.

The park is disability and pushchair accessible.
