mike142sl Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I can think of one that's missing from that last list. Spider Park (Blackbrook Rd - Lodge Moor) The council probably don't know it as that, it's a local name derived from the climbing frame that was put there back in the early 70s. Now gone and replaced with a much more modern set of items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunsbyowl1867 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 There is a small park - referred to here as a 'Pocket Park' called Devon Gardens in what could be called Osgathorpe, It is very small and little used. http://www.museums-sheffield.org.uk/coresi...evonGardens.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
