Friends of Concord park & Woolley Wood Unfortunately no members of the public turned up to the meeting about volunteers today. We will redo one next week 30th/1/25 at 6 pm at the Golf Club Concord Park is in danger of losing the Friends.....

Volunteers are what makes our parks great! Can anyone help the Friends of Concord Park and Woolley Woods? Get the word out! #sheffield

Happy Christmas eve eve folks!

We love all our city's green spaces, but Whinfell Quarry Gardens probably edges ahead as a favourite! It's got some serious Jurassic Park vibes, and we're both shameless fans so it was always going to be a hit!

Happy Winter Solstice! ❄️

Today's park is the mighty Graves Park! Gifted to the people of Sheffield by JG Graves. Jennis favourite thing about it is the evidence of medieval ridge and furrow farming methods near the cricket pavilion!

Today's park is one with a view! South Street Park is located above the train station and with its impressive amphitheatre it is a very prominent landmark above the city.

Firth Park! β˜€οΈ

Did you know, Mark Firth, a steel manufacturer and former Lord Mayor of Sheffield, gifted the park to the city in 1875. It was the city’s first publicly owned park!

Can anyone take a guess at where tomorrow will be!?

Today's Christmas countdown is Frecheville Pond!

A popular fishing spot, the pond was originally a reservoir and became a pond when the Frecheville estate. The pond is home to carp, roach and perch and visited by waterfowl, including the odd heron.

Here we are at day 10! πŸ™Œ

Millhouses Park is loved by the people of Sheffield and has great sentimental value, it is not only used for all sorts of activities including outdoor events, but it has a lot of history along and the River Sheaf running through it.
