A popular visitor attraction has returned to a much loved Leeds park this summer.
Following a tendering process, a licence has now been granted by Leeds City Council to an operator, which will see a family friendly land train once again available to take in many of the great sights of Roundhay Park
Managed by Scott Pullen of Scott Pullen & Son Fun Fairs and sponsored by Al Murad Tiles Ltd, passengers of the land train will be treated to a journey approximately 1.5km long, which running through the centre of the park, is set to offer extensive views across Waterloo Lake and of Barron’s Fountain and the Mansion. The three major car parking areas will be linked by the land train, with the Lakeside café facilities also just a short walk away.
Popular with people of all ages, the arrival of the land train will offer an extra treat for visitors, as they enjoy the peaceful and tranquil surroundings of Roundhay Park this summer.
Councillor Jack Dunn, Leeds City Council’s lead member for the environment said:
“It is really fantastic news to welcome back a land train to Roundhay Park this summer, and given the reception of those youngsters who were given a sneak preview, it promises to be a big hit.
“Some of the park’s most iconic sights including Waterloo Lake and Mansion will feature on the land train’s route, which will add another dimension to what is always a great visit to Roundhay Park.
“We would like to wish operators Scott Pullen & Son Fun Fairs the very best of luck when the land train is launched this summer, and also pass on our thanks to Al Murad Tiles Ltd for their very kind sponsorship.”
