Golden Acre Park is located just north of Leeds. There are couple of access points, however we chose to park in the main car park just of the A660, Otley Road. From the (free) car park there is an underpass under the busy road into the park. Very quickly you are away from a busy road and in a beautiful park. We chose a space on the grass away from flying footballs to have our picnic. There are picnic tables nearer the water. We then followed the path to the pond to feed the ducks and geese. The gardens are beautifully maintained and it is a really pleasant walk. The paths we used were all pushchair friendly, although we saw other paths which might be more suitable for a baby carrier.
We stopped at the cafe for a very reasonably priced cup of tea and the selection of cakes on offer looked very tempting. We sat outside on a terrace which looked over the park and admired the view whilst the little one slept - perfect! Even the sun put in an appearance. The park is not as big as Roundhay, but it is, in my opinion, prettier. Certainly worthy of a Sunday afternoon stroll.
