Welcome to Chapeltown Park and Chapeltown in Bloom Website

 We are local volunteers trying to improve our local park and Chapeltown area so that people will, once again, enjoy being part of the local community.

Chapeltown in Bloom have joined the Friends of Chapeltown Park on this website until they get their own.     Please use the "Contact us" page for both 

The new playground is now open and completed except for a WILLOW TUNNEL which is due to be planted early March 2012.

There was an official opening on Sunday 4th September at 12noon followed by Chapeltown Silver Prize band concert.  It was a rather wet day weather-wise, but everyone who braved the rain had a good time and we are very thankful for all the support we are receiving. The Friends group cut the ribbon on one gate and pupils from Ecclesfield School Arts Department cut the other ribbon - see below:

We would like to thank all the funders who have made the playground possible:

• Playbuilder scheme (Department of Education)
• Sheffield City Council (made up the shortfall in the Playbuilder scheme)
• S106 development money from local building projects
• Community Spaces - Groundwork UK - surfacing, equipment, seating
• Veolia - fencing, walling, artwork etc.
• Sheffield Homes 'You Choose Event' - hill slide plus jungle climber
• Sheffield Town Trust - money for the cone climber
• West Riding Masonic Charities Ltd -  inclusive play equipment
• J.G. Graves Charitable Trust who started off the fundraising in 2006.
  

The new playground is situated at the bottom of the slope near the Newton Hall entrance.
