Owner description:
Millhouses Park is located approximately 3 miles south-west of Sheffield City Centre. Part of the park was gifted by Earl Fitzwilliam & Marquis of Zetland in 1909, with the remainder purchased by Sheffield City Council. Two exciting projects have been many years in the making and have really rejuvenated an area of Millhouses Park that historically has been famous for it's connection with water. The Splash! project is located on the site of the old swimming pool and lido and reintroduces water play into the park, many years after the lido was closed and filled in. It is an interactive play area designed to be both playful and educational with kit such as an Archimedes screw, hand pumps and see saws that pump water into a large snaking channel, where it can be dammed in several places before being scooped by a water wheel and fed into a recycling tank. The water then feeds the toilets, can be used to water plants and tops up the boating lake. The Fishway project has seen the old paddling pools filled in and converted into natural habitat that will allow fish such as trout to bypass the two weirs on the River Sheaf and move upstream to spawn. The design is very complex and incorporates rock pools, overhangs and resting places and mimics their natural habitat as much as possible. Very recently, money was secured to pay for the soft landscaping of the area around the fishway and this was carried out with BTCV and members of the Friends of Millhouses Park across a few very wet and muddy days. The Friends Group were also involved in the planting of trees in the Splash! area. Both schemes were designed in-house by our Environmental Planning Team and are a great example of innovative thinking and design as they are definitely unique in their concept and implementation. Throughout this process, Parks and Countryside have worked very closely in partnership with the Friends of Millhouses Park from the initial concept, the consultation through to fundraising in order to make both projects a success.Check the map for details of our facilities - or go to the Friends of Millhouses Park website.
