About Ecclesfield Park
Ecclesfield Park sits in the heart of Ecclesfield village, about four miles north of Sheffield city centre, and is one of Sheffield City Council's district parks. It offers a mix of playing fields for football and cricket, bowling greens, a children's playground and large grassed areas for informal games, giving the village a central green space to gather and play. The children's playground underwent a major transformation in 2023, with a complete redesign and refurbishment that added diverse play opportunities, new pathways and all-weather play surfacing to improve access. The park is supported by the active Friends of Ecclesfield Park group, who work to revitalise the site, run fundraising and maintain a community garden that opens to visitors on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Parking for park users is available in a car park off The Common, opposite Morrisons, including two disabled bays. As a council park it is free to visit, and the combination of a modern playground, sports pitches, bowling greens and community gardening makes it a varied day out for families in the north of the city.
