Join in with 50 things to do before you're 11¾ at Sheffield Park




Exploring the garden, parkland and woodland at Sheffield Park offers the ideal chance to tick off some of your '50 things to do before you’re 11¾'. Come dressed for the outdoors, bring your curiosity and get ready for an adventure. Here's a list of our top activities to do at Sheffield Park and Garden:
No.1 Get to know a tree
Look up through the branches - what can you see? Or head to Ringwood Toll in the Parkland and climb up into a tree for a real bird's-eye view.
No.7 Fly a kite
With over 300 acres to explore, our parkland is a great open space to fly a kite. There's lots of room to get a good running start and launch your kite into the air.
No.12 Have fun with with sticks
Our natural play trail in Ringwood Toll is a great place to explore and big enough to hide in. Can you make a trail of sticks so others can find where you are?
No.31 Make friends with a bug
Our garden and parkland is teeming with bugs of all shapes and sizes. Look out for beetles, spiders and larvae under stones and fallen branches. Don't forget to put them back in their homes once you have looked at them.
No.44 Watch a bird
The sound of birdsong fills our garden, woods and parkland with birds darting in and out of the trees and shrubs. Can you spot who is making which sound?
Don't forget to get a sticker for your scrapbook each time you complete a challenge.
