Lottery cash to aid play

The project will include work at parks including Endcliffe at Hunters Bar, Ruskin Park in Walkley, Splash at Millhouses, and Burngreave Recreation Ground, plus woodlands.

Money from the Big Lottery Fund will pay for outreach community play workers in Darnall, and other projects.

Council leader Coun Jan Wilson said: “The award is fantastic news for children across the city. Ten schemes will benefit from this extra funding that will boost children's and young people's play and positive leisure facilities in Sheffield.”
