ABOUT US
who are fogp?
Friends of Grenoside Park are a committed group of local parents who have been working hard to raise funds and awareness for our community playground and park. We are pleased to announce that we have now become a charity (July 2023). This significant milestone will provide us with enhanced opportunities to secure funding, collaborate with other organisations, and expand our efforts to further improve the park for the entire community. Bringing further positive changes to our playground and park and make it a vibrant and inviting place for all children and users. A lot of the park equipment has been in place for over 30 years and it’s time for an update.
We are currently working with Sheffield City Council and playground equipment companies to draw up plans for a new playground which will be more inclusive and offer children a better play experience when using the playground. If we all work together we can improve our green park space in the heart of Grenoside.
Improving the park is going to require a lot of money. We will do the best we can to raise as much as we can but if you feel able to donate to the project please do so below.
If you are a local business and would like to discuss sponsorship opportunities please contact us.
whats next!
We will consider all the responses and continue work with Sheffield City Council to draw plans for the new playground. We will publish the draft plans when we are able to and ask the views of local residents about them. Please keep visiting our website or follow us on social media for updates.

OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY
what our community are saying!
My children love going to the park! They love seeing their friends after school and playing, however in comparison to other parks close by I would love to see Grenoside Park updated and more engaging for the kids.

I love meeting my friends after school in the park and in the holidays, we play hot lava. I would like to see new swings, zip wire and slide from the skate park so we can have even for fun.
