Sheffield has been titled the ‘The Outdoor City’ as it is the only major city with part of a National Park within its boundary and is one of the greenest cities in England.
The scheme which is based within the Woodlands of Parkwood Springs located in Sheffield, would enhance the site which is well connected to the city centre and borders several other residential areas.
Parkwood Springs offers a unique opportunity to Sheffield. An opportunity to transform a vast scarred landscape from its current day problems into a special place that local people, the city and the region can be proud of.

The scheme which would be managed by the local community living within the deprived areas bordering the site and the active groups within Parkwood Springs are keen to help improve the quality of the green and open spaces within the site.

The proposal would include the erection of a community centre with various spaces set to be adaptable for different venues using the ethos “Space is never neutral”.

It will consist of community allotments, cycle paths, community market stalls aswell as an outdoor Multi sports court which can also be used as a stage venue space. A site with a potential where you can work, celebrate, explore & grow together.
