Crown Point Retail Park

Sports Direct at crown point is appauling. I bought a pair of 50% discounted trainers for my 5 year old boy to play tag rugby in. I was a bit dubious they were so cheap. They had velcro fastening. He wore them the next day for maybe 15 mins and every time he tried to run the fastening came undone and the trainers fell off. I tried to return the trainers 2 days later undamaged and in an immaculate condition and the manager was absolutely shocking in her approach to my problem. She continued to say over and over again that the trainers were not faulty as she used her finger to test the strength of the velcro, obviously a different force to a child running. She failed to give me any explanation other than they were not designed for tag rugby, basically a 5 year old running around on a field and said I hadn’t done them up properly! They were velcro. so I was at a loss to what she meant. She point blankly refused to exchange them stood there staring at me in silence until I felt so intimidated I left the shop. The trainers were only £12 and it wasn’t about the money but felt they were unfit for purpose so should at least make them aware. I was horrified by her manner and her ridiculous explanation. She refused to give me her name but said I could write to head office. The same day I went to Sports Direct at Birstall and the manager was understanding, he admitted there had been similar complaints, he immediately apologised and exchanged them for a credit note.

Crown Point is very local to me and is a nice place to shop although its not as good as it used to be but I would recommend going there before trudging around Leeds City Centre; which is stressful. It may be hard to find a parking spot some days tho. (:-(.
Since introducing new shops like the ‘pound’ shop it has become a better place to shop, not everyone can afford top door prices and it’s got a new set of shoppers interested in the other shops.
Recommendation:
The one thing this place needs is to bring back the ‘burger van’, I miss the quick snack I used to have when I didn’t have time to nip into a café.

Regular Shopper

I was not sure how to find this place and did get lost along the way.
When I got there its your basic retail park with shops scatterd here and there.
My main reason to vist was the Hobby Craft that they have. It seems a very nice retail park good selection of shops for a small shopping trip or just a nose around.

Crown Point retail park has grown from an industrial estate with a Staples and basically nothing else, into a poor excuse for a shopping centre. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy going there, as I generally go once a week to Hobbycraft.
It’s all very predictable though — there are a few clothing shops, a few electrical shops, a coffee shop etc. It’s not really a day out, more somewhere to go for something in particular, and you might nip in New Look while you’re there.
Hobbycraft is the only shop which is here and nowhere else in Leeds. The only real thing it has going is the amount of parking spaces.

Always very busy & it takes ages to find a parking space. My favourite shop is the huge Asda George Living, on 2 floors, with clothes, household, furnishings, toys, electrical etc & a coffee shop. I also like Next, which is next door & the M&S outlet, that has a coffee shop too. Plenty of other big shops too.

Has a good range of shops although parking is not great, especially on the weekends. There is a large TK Maxx, M&Shome, Asda, Next and others. Worth going to if youre in the area anyway but not worth travelling to especially

Crown Point Retail Park has a decent amount of shops to choose from including TK Maxx, M+S, Sports Direct, Asda, Next, Staples, Instore and Subway. The Mothercare is particularly larger than other stores and conveniently placed in the middle so ideal for parents wishing to change their children halfway round.
Always a very busy retail park whatever day of the week, we’ve often had to drive round many times before finding a space.

A handy retail park near the centre of Leeds with lots of parking and a good variety of shops, eg Argos, Comet, Staples, Mothercare etc.
Saves the hassle and expense of parking in the centre and avoids most of the traffic problems as its handy for the motorways

Crown Point has improved in leaps and bounds in the last year. There are now at least three places to get a coffee whilst shopping, (Costa, Asda, M&S) which is vital if you’re there for a few hours! The mothercare world also has the new early learning centre in, as well as Clarks shoes.
The M&S retail outlet is good if you have time to browse through, there’s a lot of stuff in the shop which is fairly well organised, including M&S cards at discounted prices of around 80p each.
Mothercare has baby change facilities, as does the Asda Living store, Costa and the M&S store. There are also toilets in these shops too.
Parking can be a little bit cramped, and occasionally you will need to queue to get into the retail park.

Farily easy to get to, lots and lots of free parking and some very good shops including TK Maxx, Boots, M & S, Hobbycraft, Mothercare. Asda Home, Next, New Look, Argos and many more that I cant remember! I find it really handy if I need a few shops as it’s so easy to park and everything is so close — much easier than going into Leeds if I haven’t got all day! A really good variety of shops too so good for Chrostmas shopping when you need all kinds of different gifts!

There’s a really good selection of shops here, including my all time favourite TK Maxx. There’s an Asda home store as well which you don’t find in too many places.
There’s good access to this park as it’s just a couple of minutes off the M621, but it isn’t very well signposted so if you’ve never been before or don’t know where you’re going then print out a map first as there are a few lane changes involved (spoken from experience — I went round in circles trying to find it the first time. But maybe that’s just me being a woman).
Parking is a bit tight — there are a lot of shops tucked in there so a lot of cars. Get there early if you can.

its getting better and better, great now subway is there, you can go from shop to shop and get something to eat after. shame it can be impossible to park weekend afternoons. best time to go is sundaymorning just when shops open, its relatively quiet then

I think Crown Point is a bit neglected. Not a lot of people know it’s there, because they don’t venture very far south out the city centre. I work pretty close so end up coming here to buy cheap clothes in Peacocks or New Look, or to pick up a DVD from Asda.
There’s a Costa Coffee where you can have a lunchtime latte, or get a sarnie deal at the Boots.
There’s a good sized TK Maxx too (I love TK Maxx in spite of its pro-​knife tendencies).
I’ll admit the parking is a nightmare a lot of the time — the layout at the entrance is a bit stoopid, but parking in the city centre’s even less appealing to me :)

Crown point is a retail park just past the brewery in Leeds. It is within walking distance from the centre of Leeds, however you can get a bus from the row of stops just outside the corn exchange.
There is no right or wrong way to walk around the park. There is a poundstretcher, an asda homewares, boots as well as M&S outlet and many more. There really is something for everyone here. My nan and me recently visited and she loved the M & S outlet and got some real bargains, where as I like Boots and Hobbycraft.
There are public toilets as well as plenty of parking including mother and baby and disabled spaces.

I work very near to Crown Point so spend a lot of my lunches there. Its got a good selection of shops, New Look, Next, Asda Living (which is a great shop for all your clothing and housey things), Peacocks, a bed place, Comet you get the picture. There’s loads of parking you’re driving down but don’t park and leave your car there to go shopping in town the parking attendants are like vultures as one of my mates found out recently. There’s also a Costa coffee and a Subways (what a surprise!) if you want a bite to eat whilst browsing the shops.

Crown point is a retail park on the edge of Leeds city centre which continues to just get bigger and better. So many new stores have been added recently it now boost and impressive 18 stores which include Argos, next, boots, currys, comet and T K Maxx. Its a great alternative to the city centre as Crown Point offers over 800 free parking spaces for its customers. Disabled and mother and baby parking spaces available too.
