LOVE LEEDS PARKS

Love Leeds Parks supports community-led enhancements to public parks and green spaces in Leeds. We raise awareness about the wide ranging benefits of parks, promote community engagement in urban green spaces and generate donations for park improvement projects. The projects we fund are community focused and add value to public green spaces, as well as prioritising parks in deprived areas.
