Sandall Park is an important and unique resource for the people of Doncaster as a whole, and the local community in particular. It is a vital green lung of the community which the FoSP continue to develop for the benefit of all.

Sandall Park has a beer named after it (a red beer to reflect the history of the clay works in the park) brewed by Donny Brewery. The brewery - https://doncasterbrewery.co.uk/brewery-tap - has collected produce from the park to create future beverages, including the unique red apples.
