A statement from Fields in trust said: “Our local parks have acted as a refuge for so many of us over the past few years and now is our chance to celebrate the spaces that gave us so much in our time of need.
"Is your local park a special place on the doorstep to get outdoors, move, relax, play, meet with loved ones and more? Is your favourite park the UK's favourite?”
See below for some of the entries:
1. Chapel Allerton Park
The park blends a mix of hilly scenery and physical activity stations for all ages.

2. Kirkstall Abbey Park
Despite being close to urban west Leeds, the park has a remarkably "countryside", feel, as the sound of the river drowns out nearby traffic noise.
