In Sheffield, parks are categorized into 3 types: City, District, and Local. City parks are established visitor destinations, district parks have a mix of landscape features and facilities, and local parks serve smaller catchment areas with play features and green spaces.
Children can enjoy paddling and playing with interactive water play equipment at Rivelin Valley Water Play, which is open from Spring Bank Holiday onwards until the first weekend of September. It is located near Rivelin Park Cafe off Rivelin Valley Road.
The Gardens, originally laid out in 1836, are listed by English Heritage as a Grade II site. They contain listed buildings, including stunning glass pavilions. The restoration in 2005 maintained the Victorian design while updating the plant collections for modern needs.
There are over 100 children's playgrounds in Sheffield's parks and open spaces. All playgrounds are inspected daily, quarterly, and annually for maintenance and safety.
As part of the byelaws for green spaces, metal detecting and flying drones without permission are not permitted on land managed by Parks and Countryside. These rules help prevent damage to green spaces and reduce the risk of injury to park users.
