About

Firth Park is a residential district located in the north of Sheffield, centred around its historic park of the same name. The area is characterised by a mix of post-war housing, including terraced homes and some larger semi-detached properties, alongside local shopping parades on Bellhouse Road and Firth Park Road. The community is served by several primary schools and the notable Firth Park Academy, with good bus links providing access to Sheffield city centre.

The area's focal point is the expansive, late-Victorian Firth Park itself, which offers formal gardens, sports facilities, and woodland walks. A distinctive feature is the original 1875 park lodge, a two-storey stone building that still stands near the main gates. The surrounding streets are primarily residential, with a practical range of local amenities catering to day-to-day needs, creating a settled and established neighbourhood feel.
