We all know the importance of having good access to green spaces such as parks, playing fields, and public gardens.
MG Timber, together with Online Marketing Surgery, has created the Park Access Report, which ranks neighbourhoods in Leeds based on the number of postcodes within 900 metres of a park.
Using data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the report analyses access to public parks and playing fields across all areas of the city.
Below are the 10 neighbourhoods in Leeds with the highest number of postcodes within 900 metres of a park:
