One of the most popular parks in Leeds, Roundhay Park is very grand with lots to see and do.
The park covers over 700 acres of rolling parkland?with?lakes, woodlands, formal gardens, cafes, playgrounds, and the Tropical World visitor attraction.
The Land train?starts at Lakeside Cafe and runs up Carriage Drive and along Middle Walk, to the Park gates and then does a return journey. The train costs ?1.50 for a single or ?2.00 for a return ticket and the journey time is eight minutes.
Fishing?is permitted on Waterloo (the big) lake except by the boating area. The boating area is to the front of the cafe (up to the maintained grass area) and to where the path leaves the side of the lake on the opposite bank.
Fishing is not permitted along the Dam and Bywash areas as part of the 1975 reservoirs act. It is not permitted on the top (small) lake because it is a protected wildlife habitat.
Please tidy up and take away your lines and hooks so the swans, ducks and geese don?t get tangled up in them.
