Weston Park
Sheffield's first public park, a Victorian garden between the university and the museum.
Opened in 1875, Weston Park is a Grade II listed Victorian park of winding paths, a bandstand, a boating pond and mature specimen trees, laid out around Weston Hall — now the museum.
It is the green heart of the university quarter and holds the city's main war memorial garden, ten minutes' walk from the Devonshire Quarter.
