Serene calm and beauty 🫠🥰🥰🥰
Killingbeck Pond is a lovely little pocket Park hidden beside York Road, you can usually see ducks and other wildlife here, it's a very relaxing spot with benches too. It's also connected to the Wykebeck Valley Way route which includes a cycling shortcut to South Parkway Approach, located beside the York Road section of CityConnect's Cycle Highway. Thankfully it's been recently tarmacked so it's not a muddy place to walk or cycle through anymore, it looks like there's more development to come which is very reassuring. All good stuff.
