James Backhouse Place is a small, mixed tenure Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust community, which is home to families and couples.
The 20-acre park, in the middle of Holgate, occupies the former site of the 19th century Backhouse Nurseries. It boasts a mature woodland and a former arboretum at the top end of the park, off Acomb Road, with many specimen trees including dawn redwoods and a giant redwood.
