We were delighted to read about the announcement of £50,000 worth of spending due to take place on Brickfield Park over the next year, including play and exercise equipment, cycle tracks and seating areas.

We are a group of residents local to Brickfield Park on Lady Pit Lane, Beeston Hill who have been campaigning and calling for improvements to this park, since Leeds City Council announced that developments were a possibility (end of 2020).

With the help of Leeds Citizens and St Luke’s Cares we have organised a listening campaign which has helped to amplify the voices of people who live next to and use this park (or would like to use it!). We have worked with various Council represtatives to ask people what they like or don’t like about the park and what they would like to see happen in it.

We especially want to thank Kidz Klub Leeds and the valuable contribution of the children who spent lots of time discussing and visiting this park. Kidz Klub leaders held focus groups with children to talk about what they enjoyed about it and would like to see there in the furure.
