Abbeyfield Park

Abbeyfield Park is a public park in Pitsmoor with open green areas, a bowling green, and a main building at its center. The grounds include spaces designed for community gatherings and meetings.

The city acquired the grounds in 1909, and the main building served as Sheffield's first secondary school outside the city center from 1919 to 1927. This period shaped the location as an important place for education and later community life.

The park serves as a gathering place where different communities come together throughout the year. People use the open spaces for celebrations that reflect the neighborhood's diversity.

The grounds are accessible to visitors and offer various activities on the open spaces along with indoor areas for meetings. A group of volunteers maintains the site and organizes regular events that are open to everyone.

The entrance features steel sculptures created by local schoolchildren from the area. These artworks connect the park directly to Sheffield's long history with the steel industry.
