Sheffield parks map

A map of parks and gardens in Sheffield — 33 green spaces, from city centre squares to the woods and reservoirs on the edge of the Peak District. Every pin opens a card, and every park has its own page with opening hours and directions.

Sheffield claims more trees per person than any other city in Europe, and about a third of it sits inside a national park, so a park map is really a map of the city itself.
