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!

We are incredibly proud and beyond delighted that the park has been awarded a Platinum Award from Yorkshire in Bloom 2018. Huge thanks are due to all the hardworking park staff and Friends of Millhouses Park volunteers who made this possible.

To Keep the park in tip top shape there will be a litter pick and clean up of the park on Sunday 30th September from 10 to 12pm. We will meet as usual at the cafe and we will supply litter pickers, gloves and sacks. I hope you can come along and please spread the word.
