shining you can rely on the outdoor spaces of Sheffield for wonderful family
days out.

The closest park to Sheffield city centre, Weston Park is an
ideal setting for picnics, sports and walks during the summer months. Covering 5
hectares, Weston Park was opened on the 6th of September 1875 and
boasts many floral displays, a lake that is home to geese and ducks, tennis
courts and the Weston park weather station.
Restoration work has been ongoing in recent years to return
the park to its former glory. These improvements include restoring the lake to the
original vision, it is now a beautiful reflective sheet of water, crossed by two
bridges and inhabited by geese and duck that love to be fed by visitors. New trees
and shrubs have been planted to increase interest throughout all season, the
two tennis courts have also been refurbished.
