Sheffield Parks

Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

I am attempting to visit all of Sheffield's parks during my maternity leave and have been using a list on the council website of 83 parks (I've since learned there are far more than this!) 

 

I've nearly finished the list, but can't locate some of the ones on it. 

 

If anyone could point me in the direction of any of these remaining 5, I would be very grateful! 

 

  • Manor Sports Ground

  • Mosborough Country Park

  • Thorpe Hesley Recreation Ground

  • Tunwell Park (formerly Wooden Park)

  • Woodthorpe Recreation Ground

 

Thank you!

Thorpe Hesley Rec Ground.   S61 2RR is a large grassed / football area on the corner of Chapelfield Rd and Barnsley Rd.

There are swings etc but is it a Park?

 

Tunwell Park access from 43 45 Tunwell Avn & 54, 56 Colley Cress.

 

The rest I'm not sure of.

Hope the above helps 8) .

No probs.

& there's more.

Sheffield Parks and Gardens by Douglas Hindmarch (Ebay from £5.19).

Wealth of photo's and information, excellent mind jogger for any Sheffield'er.

Some of my favourite pics are, one of the little 'refreshment' cabin that used to be at Wyming brook.

Being of a certain age I can remember the abandoned  'open air Auditorium' in Graves park (Cobnar woods).

Up to finding this book I hadn't been able to find photo's of the place.

And as if by magic, (click the link below) I've just found this on't T'internet :banana:

 

Norton Rifle Range – SHEFFIELDER

 

Keep safe enjoy the maternity leave 8).

 

Why didn't we have maternity leave :huh:.

Can it be backdated or applied for in retrospect :huh:

I could have retired 9 years earlier 🤣 🤣 🤣.

I live in the area and have never heard of Mosborough Country Park  And the only place I can think of for Woodthorpe Recreation Ground would be the ravine behind the old Fire Station  at Manor Top
