Endcliffe Park — Attraction in Sheffield

Endcliffe Park is nestled in the leafy suburban splendour of Ranmoor and Greystones. Two thirds of the park is surrounded by period houses, whereas the bottom section provides a gateway into the city via Ecclesall Road.

There are a number of entry points to the park but probably the most popular route is from the adjacent Bingham Park, approached from Whiteley Woods and Forge Dam. Here you will find a long hard surfaced path flanked by tall trees and the Porter Brook river. It is ideal for wheelchair users and bikes (there is even a cycle lane) but it does get busy most days with dog walkers and runners. On your way through Bingham you might like to visit the Shepherd Wheel museum which provides a glimpse into Sheffield’s industrial past. Sometimes there’s even a fire indoors to take refuge by as you watch the hypnotic workings of the water powered machinery.

Near the entrance to Bingham is now the welcome addition of a mobile coffee stall serving some of impressive looking cakes and quality beans.

Endcliffe Park has something for everyone. There is a highly accessible central route through as well as an alternative track for runners or for anyone wanting to get away from the crowds.

Woodland, streams, man made waterfalls and even stepping stones are the backdrop for its visitors, as well as a large playing field. There are ducks a plenty to feed and in the spring hundreds of people participate in the Great Easter Duck Race for charity.

Once legs grow weary you can rely on the cafe to provide you with an array of delicious food and beverages, plus indoor and outdoor seating. In the vicinity is Jon Pullins amusements which, with its variety of bouncy castles and carousels, has provided fun and adventure to children for seven generations in the city. The proprietor, a friendly bearded giant, makes it his mission to make every family feel welcome and special.

Over the past 15 years the council has invested in the park’s facilities. The playground has certainly benefited from an impressive range of new equipment, such as climbing boulders, to suit all ages. There is also a parkour area in the playing field and a nearby outdoor gym. Fitness boot camps are also a regular fixture as well as impromptu ball games and picnics when the weather is kind.

Endcliffe Park is host to a number of events throughout the year; the weekly park run, Sheffield Ten Ten Ten, tramlines music festival, fairs, circuses. Perhaps the most publicised of all was the BBC breakfast’s coverage of the Mi Amigo 75th commemorative flypast by the United States Airforce.

Large multi use park.

Basically split into three parts, a large open grassy area, a café and playground area and a woodland are the opposite side of the Porter Brook, called the Porter Brook because of its brown water caused by flowing through iron rich soil near it's source, it also shows signs of industrialization, quite interesting.

The café is really good with a wide range of hot and cold drinks and food including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options plus ice cream.

The playground areas are either a free to use standard playground, a payable slide, bouncy castle etc, and a parkour area.

The woodland area has paved walking trails with a large lake/pond and the Porter Brook flowing through it with multiple falls and some stepping stones.

There also appears to be some unpaved/soil mountain biking trails, don't think they're official, but people were using them and they looked pretty good.

The USAAF B17 Flying Fortress 'Mi Amigo' crash of 1944 is commemorated with a nice memorial in the woodland area just behind the café.

Well...
