Rein Park

Rein Park is located in the inner-city suburb of Seacroft, Leeds. It is 4-miles east of Leeds city centre.

Here’s our top things to do in Rein Park:

Dog Walking

In the morning the wide open expanse is a heavenly spot to walk the dog. Picture a bit of mist just hanging above the grass as the sun rears its head. You can’t go wrong walking the dog here!

Running

The park has been paved really well which makes it a perfect place to run on solid steady ground. Running the outer perimetre of paths will clock more than half a mile. If you run across the inner connecting paths too you can reach a mile distance on one lap.

Playground

Get some park time thrills for the little ones on the swings and slides.

Football

Rein Park has one standard sized football pitch with fixed goals for the public to use. No need for jumpers for goals at this park.

Riding

The very same paths that are excellent for running on (see above) are also great for riding on. These wide flat expressways are perfect for the skateboard, scooter and bike. What’s more the open space allows parents to keep view of the little ones while they ride off. Rein Park is a great place to learn to ride!

Multi-Use Games Area

The MUGA or multi-use games area as they are technically known provide a sports surface for the public to use in all weathers. The markings on the court are perfect for basketball and decent enough for 5-a-side football.

LS14 Play-box

Hosted by the LS14 Trust. The play box is a big orange eye catching box that comes with loads of playful games that are perfect for parents and kids. Keep an eye out for this ingenious play space popping up in the park in the future!
