If you have been in the playground in the last couple of weeks you may have noticed the willow tunnel has had a haircut. It may look severe but it was really needed, and don’t worry it will grow back.  We plan to replant parts of it in February (when the ground is warmer) to create a more tunnel-like structure.

The original tunnel was planted 9 years ago by The Friends of Millhouses Park, and we contuinue to maintain this with help from Sheffield Parks and Countryside.

In the meantime, please play in it!

URGENT NOTICE
Please note that the river is about to flood and the park is now closed for public safety.

Due to the dire weather forecast we will not be litter picking on the 29th of September.

We have our Spring calendar of work and events planned for this year with our first event this weekend for those not running the Sheffield Marathon!

Sunday 14 April: Spring clean
Meet at 10am by the cafe, litter pickers and gloves supplied but bring your own if you have them. As always all ages welcome, spread the word please and bring a friend!

Saturday 27 April: Spring bird walk
Meet at the foot of the steps into the park from Archer Road at 8am. The gentle walk through the park to Tyzack’s Dam, returning through part of Ecclesall Woods will last about two and a half hours and, as ever, all are welcome.
Binoculars will be available to borrow.

Don’t forget the Autumn Bird Walk this Saturday – a great way to enjoy this glorious Autumn!

The Autumn gardening is rescheduled for Sunday 18 November, 10-12 meeting at the Sensory Garden.

We look forward to seeing you at either or both!
