Happy Christmas eve eve folks!
We love all our city's green spaces, but Whinfell Quarry Gardens probably edges ahead as a favourite! It's got some serious Jurassic Park vibes, and we're both shameless fans so it was always going to be a hit!

Today's park is the mighty Graves Park! Gifted to the people of Sheffield by JG Graves. Jennis favourite thing about it is the evidence of medieval ridge and furrow farming methods near the cricket pavilion!

Firth Park! ☀️
Did you know, Mark Firth, a steel manufacturer and former Lord Mayor of Sheffield, gifted the park to the city in 1875. It was the city’s first publicly owned park!
Can anyone take a guess at where tomorrow will be!?
