About this guide
An independent guide to Crookes Valley Park, put together from open map data, public records and what visitors say. If you spot a mistake, tell us and we'll put it right.
Who runs this guide
[operator name to be confirmed before launch] runs this guide, independently of Sheffield City Council and Friends of Crookesmoor Parks. It's free to use and carries no adverts.
We make free guides like this one for UK parks that have no website of their own, each built from the same open map data and public records, and a person checks every guide before it goes live. If the park's Friends group or the council would like to take this one over, we'll hand it on.
For repairs and anything else the council looks after, report it to Sheffield City Council's parks service, or see the council's parks directory.
