East End Park & Richmond Hill

East End Park and Richmond Hill sit immediately east of Leeds city centre, straddling Richmond Hill Road and the A64 (York Road). The public green known as East End Park provides sports pitches, a playground and tree-lined paths that act as a local meeting place for nearby residents. Streets around the park are mainly terraces and interwar semi-detached houses, with small parades of shops, cafés and takeaways on Richmond Hill Road. Local schools, community centres and a health centre serve a dense residential catchment, and several bus routes run along York Road and Richmond Hill Road providing direct links into the city.

Richmond Hill climbs steadily from the city, creating a clear change of level and long views back over central Leeds. The corridor along the A64 gives the area a strong transport character, with frequent buses and easy road access toward the east. Community projects and sports clubs use the park and nearby halls for regular activities, and the cluster of everyday services on Richmond Hill Road means most errands can be done locally without travelling into the centre.
