Rowland Road Play Patch
The Rowland Road Play Patch is a community-built adventure playground created by Rowland Road Working Men’s Club, local volunteers and Yorkshire Contemporary. Together, we have transformed what once was unused land behind the club into a fun, vibrant, place for play and exploration.
An evolving community space in the heart of Beeston Hill, the Play Patch is not a fixed playground with a finished design. It is a living project shaped by the people who use it.
Join us on Saturdays to build, play and plant together — and help make Rowland Road Play Patch special.
What Happens Here?
Open-access adventure play
Building, den-making and loose parts
Gardening and growing
Arts and crafts
Space to sit, talk and connect

Find us in Rowland Road WMC, 38 Rowland Road, Leeds LS11 6ED

If you have any specific needs or questions, please feel free to reach out to us before your visit.
