Homestead Park is a great place to visit for all the family. The park has very considered planting, open areas for picnics, a large children’s play area, an arboretum and a very picturesque pond which is surrounded by a rockery.
There is a cafe open year round (with reduced opening in winter) next to the Pavilion building in the centre of the park. The Pavilion itself is an indoor space which can be booked for community use and events. Public events are held regularly, check the website and social profiles for up to date information.
The park was donated to the city by Seebohm Rowntree in 1904, which made it’s the first free-to-access public green space in the city. A gift which the park works to continue to this day.
You are welcome to cycle through the park, but please do so slowly and considerately to others.
Dogs are welcome, but please keep them on a lead in all areas of the park.
