The Ponderosa — Attraction in Sheffield

Visited this area once last year and it is another of the three Crookesmoor Parks. However, while relatively beautiful/nice with a lot of greenery and a few rock features/attractions further down, it is not quite as stunning as either Weston Park and Crookes Valley Park and there don't seem to be amenities such as a cafe nearby so it is my least favourite of the three parks.

I would also like to add that when you finally found that place up the steep hills, you will find yourself in an optimistic mood, almost magical. I think with all this being brought up that I can truly say this place...
