Botanical Gardens

One of the few parks in Sheffield that is enjoyable to walk around or to stay for a picnic. Sadly, it is quite a far from the city centre. As it comes for a botanical garden I would be surprised if this place surprises anyone who is interested in plants or biology.

fabby place to chill out in the summer art in the gardens is amazing

This place is etched in my childhood as a place of advenure and wonder. I remember feeding squirrels so bold they crawled up my leg, and hiding in the bear pit from my dad’s best bear impression. Great place for kids.
There is usually an ice cream van outside, and all in all it is a cheap afternoon ormorning out, not a whole day event!

The Botanical Gardens are perfect for a day out in lovely weather, and the café can provide a welcome rest after trudging up and down Ecclesall Road. Well looked after, and hugely loved by the families and students of Sheffield.

Relaxing rewarding fabulous chill-​out zone lovely spot to wile away the after noons convenient for local city centre and close to shops

Beautiful spot in a bustling area, great for a relaxing on a sunny afternoon. Close to the city centre, Ecclesall Road and Broomhill with a tearoom for a quick brew!

Nice place to escpae to on a hot day for a afternoon stroll. however, have noticed school kids doing drugs in quiet corners of the park

This is a beautiful spot not far from the centre of Sheffield and Sheffield Uni and Hallam’s Collegiate site.
Whether you just want to have a quick walk through or spend the day there lazing in the gardens, its idylic! The Botanical gardens have been enjoyed by young and old for years and hopefully will for many more to come. Its also a perfect place for a picnic, to read a book or revise for exams as its so peaceful, even when there are a lot of people about.
The two main points of entry are from Clarkhouse Road off Ecclesall Road opposite Tesco.
Theres usually an ice cream van on either the Clarkhouse Road or on the Ecclesall Road side, although the café inside the grounds also sells ice creams/​lollies. There are toilets near the café and little gift shop at the Clarkhouse Road entry.

The glass houses are really the striking point of the gardens. A fantastic place to go to relax, get away from it all and just have a good time is here. The gardens are really good, lots of open spaces to spend some time — come here to refresh!

Just outside the centre of town lies this haven of natural beauty. It is a really lovely place to go just to relax or read or go for a picnic or with children. There are also some lovely plants if that is the sort of thing that interests you and some indoor greenhouses where they have seasonal plants on show.

So pretty and so relaxing!
A great way to waste a sunny afternoon!
Dead centeral in the city so a great place to escape the hussle and bussle!

These gardens offer a very welcome refuge from the general, ever-​present traffic noise surrounding this lovely place. There are a few listed buildings on the premises, the most striking of which are certainly the Glass Pavilions.
The perfect little piece of heaven to go for a stroll, or enjoy reading a book on the beautiful lawns, or to go for a cup tea, coffee accompanied by a cake.
