Crookes Valley Park is close to Weston Park but quite different in style. It’s reached by dropping down to the park from Crookes Valley Road and is then pretty flat. It centres around a lake which is popular with anglers. There’s also a restaurant at the top of the park and at the far end there’s crown green bowling and even a table tennis table! It’s very popular with runners and dog walkers; the perfect place go spends lazy few hours.
Great vibe park, one of the gems of Sheffield, this and it's sister park, Weston Park combined are great spots to hang out, solo or in groups. Good spot for runners to do loops around. Has a outdoor ping pong table. Nice deep water quarry, you'll see folks swimming in it. I haven't seen every single park in Sheffield to say it's the top park, but it is certainly one of the best in Sheffield City center area.
Crookes Valley Park truly transforms into something magical in springtime. It seems like a popular park for its blossoms as there were quite a few photographers in the area. The park itself is well-maintained. Highly recommend it but please be aware weekends can get busy, so consider a weekday visit if you prefer a quieter experience.
This is a really nice place for a walk and plenty places to stop and have a rest also! Really nice area of Sheffield if you need to go collect your thoughts get a coffee and go there!!
A small park but quaint. At its centre is a large pond, and there is the Dam House restaurant and bar for those fancying a tipple. It's a nice place to relax and enjoy a gentle stroll. There is a small playground area for children.
