FRIENDS OF ENDCLIFFE PLAYGROUND

Friends of Endcliffe Playground was set up three years ago by a group of people who felt passionately that their children, and the children of Sheffield, deserved a better playground in one of the most popular and well visited parks in the city.

Our aim is to create a fully inclusive playground that will enable children of all abilities to play together, one that will enhance the feeling of normality for disabled children and is yet exciting and stimulating for the most able children.

As of 4th May, the total we've raised is £293,000 through awards from the National Lottery, Veolia Environmental Trust, Section 106 funding, Grants for the Arts, Help a Hallam Child, Wild Country (rock climbing company), Riverdale Round Table, several local Trusts and Foundations, Richard Hawley (singer/song writer) as well as the local community’s incredible generosity.

Work is schedule to start in June and be completed by August 2008.  The Council have followed a ‘value engineering’ approach to get the best value for the money we’ve raised and they are in the process of awarding the contract to the lowest bidder. 

If we want to include ALL elements of design in the playground, we still need to raise the last few thousand pounds.  Every penny counts and the community could really hold the key to achieving our aims. 

The target on this website has now been set as £10,000.  We are so nearly there.. go on, please help us achieve the best playground possible for all of our children!!!

Finn and Kirsten can't wait to play in the new playground. They call endcliffe park "puddle park" as there is always a puddle to be found by equipment! maybe they they will be playing with a climbing boulder instead soon.....

Let's hang from those bars, balance on those beams and climb everything we can reach.

Considering how much council tax we pay, it is annoying that the city council can't maintain the park but if we wait for it to make improvements, our toddler will be at Uni!

Looking forward to running wild and free without dealing with the consequences of falling in the huge muddy perma-puddles! (fun in summer, not so good in the snow...)

I have happy memories of my dad taking me to EP and I also took my children to EP. So after being nagged by Cristina I decided I should do my bit in memory of my dad. But I still think it's the councils responsibility to maintain our parks just like they did when i was a child. xx
