Norfolk Heritage Park is 28 hectares of vibrant green space to the south east of the city centre.
Established in 1848 by the 12th Duke of Norfolk, it was once land that had been part of a deer park linked to Sheffield Manor.
It became one of Britain’s first public parks, offering free access to all.
In 1910, the Duke gifted the park to the city, leading to the addition of amenities such as bowling greens, tennis courts, and playgrounds throughout the 20th century.
After a period of decline, it was designated Grade II* landscape in 1994 and restored with Heritage Lottery funding in the late 1990s.
There is community interest in installing outdoor gym equipment in Norfolk Heritage Park.
Public parks are a great place to exercise, offering free, accessible, and spacious environments that promote physical health, mental well-being, and social connection in a natural setting.
Activities such as walking, running, cycling and fitness classes are just some of the popular activities.
Outdoor gyms also provides an opportunity to exercise in the fresh air, offering a range of equipment designed to replicate popular indoor fitness equipment.
The project is at the early feasibility stage, where potential options are being explored.
Due to the heritage status of the Park, extensive tree cover, challenging gradients and requirements around prevention of Antisocial Behaviour, there are a limited number of appropriate location in the park for gym equipment.
We need to demonstrate support from the community and secure funding in order to progress with the project,
Your opinion is very important to us and will influence the next steps, and provide valuable support for the funding bid needed to complete this project.
Please answer the following few questions after looking at the gym equipment images below.
