These Leeds parks have been nominated for UK's Best Park contest

Nine parks in Leeds have been nominated for a competition to find the most popular park in Britain.

And you can vote for the parks on the list below to win the competition run by The Fields in Trust, a charity which protects public green spaces.

There have been 364 public nominations for parks and green spaces across the UK – and nine are in Leeds.

Voting opens to coincide with 'Have a Field Day', the annual celebration of parks and green spaces, on Saturday.

Fields in Trust Chief Executive Helen Griffiths said: "Our parks and green spaces are a vital part of UK community infrastructure.

"We know that they provide benefits to the physical health, mental wellbeing and community connections for people that use them, so we are delighted to see a record number of nominations for the UK’s Best Park award and it is encouraging to see so many people organising picnics with neighbours to celebrate how much they love their local park."

Small community gardens, large nature reserves, sports fields and playgrounds are all eligible for the UK’s Best Park 2019. Nominations are made by regular users of the park.
