From the Wikipedia article
Firth Park is a public park in the Firth Park area of the City of Sheffield in England. It is located 2.33 miles (3.75 km) north-northeast of the city centre. The main entrance to the park is on Hucklow Road although there are several entrances on Firth Park Road to the east and one on Vivian Road to the south. Established in 1875, the park gave its name to the Sheffield suburb of Firth Park, a social housing estate constructed around the area of the park in the 1920s and 1930s.

Background
Visiting
In the 1980s the maintenance and upkeep of the park was scaled back and Firth Park entered a period of deterioration and neglect. In 2000 the Friends Of Firth Park group was formed to help regenerate the park. This included the opening of a new First Start Centre in 2005 which incorporated a toddler group, drop-in nursery and a community snack bar known as Henry's Café. Today the park also has a multi-use games area that includes facilities for football, hockey, basketball and cricket as well as a children's playground and bowling green.
