West Park Fields used to be a farm land area that was owned by the monks of Kirkstall Abbey. After the abolition of the monasteries, the land was acquired by private individuals, and the house was renamed Kirkstall Grange. In 1910 the land was transferred over to Leeds City Council (previously Leeds Corporation).
