Endcliffe Park, Sheffield

Endcliffe Park is a prominent and expansive public park located in Sheffield. It was established in 1887 to commemorate the Jubilee of Queen Victoria, and it features several monuments dedicated to her. Near the park's entrance, visitors are greeted by a statue of Queen Victoria, and further along, the path towards Whiteley Woods stands an obelisk, both of which originally stood in Sheffield's city center on Fargate. At the heart of the park is a dolmen, a pile of rocks enclosed by railings, featuring a top stone with a coat of arms and an inscription commemorating the park's founding.

The park offers a variety of recreational facilities, including a playground that was revamped in 2008, offering numerous attractions for children. Additionally, there is a parkour training facility, built in 2014 with funding from the Sheffield Parkour Movement group, and an outdoor gym area equipped with pull-up bars and self-weighted machines, all of which are free to use. A family-friendly café, located near a small children's amusement area, provides a selection of food and drinks, along with accessible toilet facilities.

Endcliffe Park is a lively venue, hosting a range of events throughout the summer, such as circuses, musical performances, and fairs, including the popular Easter duck race. During the Tramlines Festival, the park is home to the Folk in the Forest music festival. Additionally, the Sheffield Hallam parkrun takes place in the park every week, making it a hub for both community gatherings and outdoor activities.
