Potternewton Park, Urban park in Chapeltown, Leeds
The 32-acre green space contains tennis courts, a bowling green, flower beds, a basketball court, and a large chess board for community recreation.
The Leeds City Council purchased this land in 1900 and opened it to the public in 1906, transforming a former pottery manufacturing area into a community space.
The park transforms into the center of Leeds West Indian Carnival every August bank holiday weekend, featuring music performances and community celebrations.
The park provides wheelchair access through multiple entrances and includes adapted play equipment in the playground area for children with different abilities.
Every Saturday morning, over 100 participants gather for parkrun events on the mapped loop trail designed for runners and walkers.
