Yeadon Tarn

cool cycling track
Video link:

This is a lovely tarn (big pond/​small lake to those who don’t know what a tarn is :)) It has a good solid pathway all the way round, ideal for pushchairs. The pathway is just set off from the waters edge with grass to the outer edge of the pathway. Small boats can sometimes be seen on the water. It’s also a great place to feed the ducks. There’s a childrens play area at the ‘boathouse’ side of the tarn (there’s sometimes an icecream van around here too) and a skateboard/​bike ramp area on the other side of the tarn. You can see the planes as they takeoff/​land at the airport nearby, but don’t worry, I don’t feel that the noise from this adversley affects the peace and beauty of this area. There aren’t any other facilities, but Yeadon High Street is a 5 – 10 min walk away

I only recently found this place and it great. There’s a large kids play area with lots climbing frames slides and swings good for kids of all ages. There public toilets too near the play area. Its a lovely walk around the tarn itself and there’s plently to look at with boats on the lakes and areoplanes coming into land at the near by bradford airport. Lovely place for a free family day out my son loved it.

Nice to walk around the pond/​boating lake any time of the year. You can watch the planes take off and land as it is right next to the airport runway. The park is ok, but getting a bit run down now (its same park i used to play on when i was little) but still in good condition.
Perfect as everything is free, even the car park.

This is great for a stroll anytime of day or year. Plenty of parking. It is a boat lake with a path all the way round. Loads of ducks to feed so dont forget the bread lol. There is a park. Yeadon boating club. (so nice to see boats this sunday when we went last) There is a biker section for the teenage BMX-​er. Little ones use it also. There is plenty of dog waste bins so is always kept clean. Benches placed around for sitting and taking it all in. Ice cream van was there this weekend. They are in the process of building a toilet block. Also I think someone is converting the old block into a tea room but cant be sure for definate but, if you want lunch in the park there is a tiny fish and chip shop just down the road and serves really nice fish and chips. AND one reason my husband and boys love this spot is it is right at the end of one of leeds bradford airport run ways. so if you are a plane fan like my boys (no doubt little girl too when she gets older lol) then its a good spot.
So a bit for everyone always busy but not to much to spoil it.
