I love the smell of the fresh air, watching the kids and dogs roam freely. In Sheffield parks, it is very dog friendly and they are not chained or leashed like here in the USA. I was impressed how loyal and obedient these dogs were! There were many ducks, no geeks!! Playgrounds for the kids. Even a cafe closeby with tables and chairs outside for seating. I was told that in the summer, there are many festivals and events that happen there.

Went with the kids and had a great time playing in the park. Wanted to go for the Mi Amigo war…read morememorial too! Really moving! It's in a stunning part of Sheffield too!

The site has memorials for citizens of Sheffield who served in wars, including wars in Spain and Korea. There are plenty of benches to relax and rest, whether you want to take in the views, just relax while walking around the city, or enjoy a snack or beverage on a sunny day. At peak times, it can get quite crowded and uncomfortable due to the noise, and a lack of security and order can ruin one's enjoyment sadly, having some staff members monitoring the park for security and cleanliness reasons would go a long way to make it an even better place. 4*

I just love going to botanical gardens to look at what each city preserves or keeps in their garden, many will have other plants around the world. There is a water fountain that leads through the aisle to the green house. Weddings are held here and I can visualize the beauty of it. The green house is bigger than I thought it'll be when I was inside. There is also a bear pit, reminds me of The Gladiator. It is very beautiful and will have to come back one day again when it is warmer. Sheffield will always have a special place in my heart.

Numerous sports are played in the park such as football, cricket, tennis, bowls and golf while the rolling hills and wide paths are perfect for bike rides. The ponds are also well stocked with fish that have got nice and fat eating the bread intended for the ducks. Hidden off the beaten track into the woods are the remains of an amphitheatre and there are also a number of carved wooden sculptures hidden around in various states of disrepair. There are three car parks. One located behind the sports pavilion on Cobnar Road, one at the animal park at the top of Warminster Road and one near the tennis courts on Charles Ashmore Road.

Access is easy and it has a reasonably sized car park on the south end and a big car park on its north face (near the little farm zoo). The park is clean and well kept and during the summer has some colourful wildlife. There are plenty of open fields which host plenty of events from motor shows to fair grounds, and great wooded areas with paved tracks providing an easy way to travel through them.

To most people Gleadless Common is the name given to a roadway in the Gleadless district of…read moreSheffield, which lies three miles South East of the city centre. But in fact "GLEADLESS COMMON" is actually a large open grassy space that has been transformed in recent years by the Parks Dept. into a lovely parkland which has lots of footpaths - some of which are tarmaced and the others dirt-tracked. There is at least three football fields, an area set aside as a wild flower meadow which during spring, summer and early autumn is alive in a mass of different coloured wild flowers. There's a high fenced tarmac surfaced tennis court and along the north boundary of the park there's an area set aside as a wildlife reserve where wild animals such as foxes and rabbits have now started to live. There's a Youth Meeting area in the centre of the park with facilities for a game of netball, a climbing wall as also been erected for their use, plus a covered shelter just incase it rains whilst they are there having fun. There's benches provided around the park for older visitors to sit on and admire the surrounding views. The best thing of all that's in this park is the kiddies fenced playground. It has swings for toddlers as well as young children, a large child-save climbing frame complete with mini slide, plus other play amenities. There's also benches and seats for mums and dads to sit on whilst watching their kiddies play. The park is well patrolled by South Yorkshire Police and city council rangers to prevent vandals wrecking the facilities provided for everybody's enjoyment.

With…read morethe promise of a BBC Five Live tent we stuck to tradition and headed here last Saturday as a family, ready to take in the sights and sounds of a grey Sheffield day. With its large glass exterior, the building set within the Winter Garden is quite spectacular; filled with exotic plants and, on this occassion, the odd morris dancer, there really is something for everyone to be interested in. Also within this building lies the art gallery, currently holding a quite intriguing exhibition on metal work (who knew that there were SO many things made of metal? a 'bachelor's' tea pot which perfectly holds one cup of tea? a PEA knife which holds peas perfectly ready for you to roll into your mouth? This is education at its finest) and a shop with plenty of locally sourced goods for those looking for a special Sheffield themed gift. Other shops include an arts&crafts boutique and cupcake stall, giving this part of the city a real edge on the mainstream high street.

The park is served by Supertram and the 47/48 bus, which have their terminals beside the park. At the moment there's nothing much in the park apart from a bowling green, two football fields and a badly vandalised kiddies playground. However, plans are now being brought to fruitation with the erection of a new multi-purpose pitch. And in the near future Sheffield City Council will transform this dreary park even further by erecting more amenities to cater for the older generation as well as the young generation. The thing that's different about this park compared to any of Sheffield's other parks is, firstly, it's location, it's the only park in Sheffield that is located beside two County Boundaries, the boundaries of South Yorkshire and North East Derbyshire form the park's south boundary. And secondly, this park is located on top of Sheffield's second highest land area, thus giving tremendous views northwards across the city and partly westward towards the Peak District National Park.
