Millhouses Park – The Heart Walk

A project led by Rotary Club of Sheffield Vulcan in association with FofMP.

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Trust arranges cardiac rehabilitation exercise for patients who have had either cardiac surgery or cardiac intervention (angioplasty). Exercise sessions are arranged at different sports centres, under the supervision of a cardiac nurse & physiotherapist, but patients are encouraged to continue with exercise in between the sessions, and after they have finished.

Millhouses Park’s facilities for walking/jogging on flat terrain are ideal. We have measured the park’s paths, & decided that we need 25 green oak posts, to each of which will be attached a plaque with a consecutive number, the ordnance survey reference, distance and direction to the next markers. The QR readers will access the websites of both Friends of Millhouses Park & the Rotary Club. The other symbol is for orienteerers, who have also shown an interest in the project.
