    Excellent 'oasis' in the heart of Sheffield, surrounded by the Town Hall, the Winter Garden, the McDonald hotel, a mediocre-looking new office block and on the other side of the road by a splendid panorama of appeasing house fronts. In summer during lunch break, lay down on one of the patches of grass, and you won't notice this place is packed to the brim.

    Probably the most central point in the city, the Peace Gardens offer a bit of utopia, bang in the middle of Sheffield. A fantastic place to sit around and have lunch when sunny. However, it can get very busy!

    When my Sheffield friend showed me around town, we headed to Peace Gardens. It is small but yet, so beautiful. The weather wasn't great but made the most of it. A lot of couples marry there too. Many even do photoshoots. I can imagine in the summertime when weather is better, there are more events happening. There are cafes and restaurants close by where you can just people watch and/or enjoy the gorgeous view. Just like waterfalls, I love water fountains as well.

    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.

Very relaxing place inside with benches and several winding pathes through the planted areas!!! I loved it a lot and returned there several times during my short stay of 1 1/2 days. As it can be seen on my pictures, it's also wirth going there at night - it os closed but outside the water balls are still turned on, the floor is covered with couloured stripes and the buildings surrounding that look ever so beautiful in the yellow shade of the lights......aww.....dreaming

    The Winter Garden is a lovely spot in Sheffield and often where my family head when visiting. 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.

    A fantastic municipal sports centre, Ponds Forge is a centre with a reputation for excellent…read morestandards and is always modernising something to keep itself up to date. With one of the only public 50m swimming pools in the country, it is used by swimmers up to professional level and the diving pool is currently being used to train olympic hopefuls who travel from all over the UK to train there. In keeping with it's public ethos there is also a separate fun leisure pool with flumes and waves and plenty of classes and activities for adults and children. In addition to the pools, there's also a huge, well-equipped gym and studios for a variety of exercise classes. The centre is very clean and welcoming and the temperatures are really good throughout. The monthly membership also gives you access to 3 other Sheffield venues including the Don Valley running track and is exceptionally good value. You can also pay as you go. Events are regularly held at the centre including international swim meets and there's a conference centre available for hire with catering for corps.

    This is a well placed sports centre within the city. It's close to the tram and bus station…read more The centre has just gone under a bit of a refurbishment with a new members gym being built, which was well over due. This means the gym has been moved from the main entrance creating a spacious lobby and some seating. The new gym has all the facilities you would expect, with new changing rooms which are a little warm. There are more machinery and more space in the gym allowing more people to work out at a time. There swimming pools are still the same and is a good place to do some lane swimming as long as there are no event on which writes off most weekends which is a shame. The classes are good and the instructors are really motivated and friendly. The centre has a car park which does charge but also has really small parking spaces, there is some street parking but is time limited to an hour not much use. When it becomes free parking in the evenings its really busy and could struggle to get parked. The price of membership is not too bad and does give access to more then one gym as they have a few other centres within the city. It is cheaper to join for a 12 months. Also there isn't a joining fee like some gyms have.
