That's what we do. We have only one, so far, in England. A search for "Finstock playground" will find it. I'd love to do more there. Regards, Michael Cohen Hi,

The ideas generated were about the park as a whole. Overall the ideas show that the existing park needs more child friendly elements dotted, almost surprisingly, all around the park. An activity route could be created in the park with a series of information points and games to integrate learning about the park and its wildlife. This would provide a more exciting and dynamic park where children’s activity is integrated throughout the entire park. As part of the 24Endcliffe event, we thought a children's workshop could be held on a weekly basis as it was so successful. The plan for the playground looks very interesting with lots of different elements that the children will really enjoy. It is a shame it is only a 6 week project as there is so much to consider in Endcliffe Park and the Porter Valley. Caroline 'Re-Thinking Endcliffe Park' Hi Niki,

Football sounds good though, its far easier to keep going when the sun isnt baking you! Keep up the good work.

At our last public consultation quite a few people brought up fond memories of the boating lakes. They seem to be a missed attraction. Thank you for your comment. I hope to see you at our next event this Saturday. Caroline 'Re-Thinking Endcliffe Park' Hi Peter,

It would be good if this could be restored and revived. Not at Forge perhaps, which is now a thriving wildlife habitat, but perhaps at Holme Wheel, which is close to the main part of Endcliffe Park. There used to be anumber of boating lakes in Sheffield parks, and as far as I am aware there are none now. (Of course I could go the whole hog and suggest we dig out and restore the filled-in Endcliffe Wheel Dam as a swimming pool, as it was in the past!)
