With 15 Green Flag Award-winning parks, more than any other authority in Yorkshire and the Humber, people in the city can now vote for one of them to be People’s Choice 2016. And as this year is the 20th Anniversary of the Green Flag award, for the first time the 10 parks across the country with the most votes will make up the People’s Choice Top Ten. Councillor Mary Lea, cabinet member for culture, parks and
leisure at Sheffield City Council said: “We are pretty spoilt for choice when it comes to enjoying the great outdoors here in Sheffield, but I know that everyone will have their favourites. “Whether it’s a stroll through Manor Fields Park, a picnic in Norfolk Heritage Park, splashing around in Millhouses Park or the Peace Gardens, or kicking up the leaves in Ecclesall Woods, our parks are treasured throughout
the city. “With 15 Green Flag-awarded parks to choose from, in areas throughout the whole city I know that together we can make the top 10 list and encourage more people to visit us and enjoy spending time here in our beautiful parks here in The Outdoor City.” Sheffield’s Green Flagawarded parks are: Devonshire Green, Ecclesall Woods, Firth Heritage Park, Norfolk Heritage Park,
