As summer temperatures rise in Leeds, park visitors are being reminded that barbecues are not allowed in any of the city’s parks or green spaces. The ban is in place to help protect the natural environment and the wildlife that call it home. However, visitors are still very welcome to enjoy picnics in the parks.
