Leeds City Council says it took the decision after listening to feedback from the public.
Roundhay Park , Golden Acre Park and Middleton Park, were among the sites where charges were set to be introduced
Announcing the decision, Salma Arif, executive member for public health and active lifestyles, said the charges would have help pay for improvements to parks and contribute to the council's budgetary pressures. She said: "However, having listened to the valuable feedback we have received from residents, we will not be progressing this proposal at this time.
"Nonetheless, the financial outlook for all local authorities remains challenging and further work will need to be done to identify further savings and efficiencies for 2024/25 onwards." The scheme had previously been backed by West Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin, who said it would be "good for the environment" as people may reconsider driving.
