Went to the cafe for a drink with my 1yo old. Really reasonable drinks and food (didn't eat this time). Lots of people there and a really nice atmosphere. Great addition to the park.

I was really reluctant to do this because it's such a great addition to the park I don't really want it to get too busy. Such a fantastic facility, I went down on Saturday to play Padel (£6 per person per hour - most affordable in the city). The place had a real family friendly buzz about it. Keep up the great work and hopefully see an expansion at some point!

Courtside is a great venue, and great addition to Sheffield, we have visited to play pádel a few times now and it’s fantastic. However I just want to highlight how amazing the staff are, I fainted and had a seizure on court this week and what Lottie and the team did was out of this world, and I can’t thank them enough for how they looked after myself and my friends. They didn’t leave me until the ambulance arrived. What a team, what a venue, and what a credit to Sheffield. If you haven’t visited already I highly recommend!

What a brilliant new asset for Hillsborough Park and Sheffield 6. Lovely new park pavilion open to all, with a great cafe, friendly staff and loads of affordable activities- from table tennis and mini golf to yoga, tennis, basketball and football and the surging sport of padel. No membership required - just book and play with the added option of friendly, expert coaching. The initial opposition of a few, long before it opened, now drowned out by the plaudits and participation of the many. Let’s see this replicated in some of the city’s other parks
