We want Parkwood Springs to be a welcoming, peaceful place, so please help us get rid of any activities that are, or can seem, threatening.
Off road motorcycling
Riding a motor cycle anywhere on Parkwood Springs is illegal. Sheffield City Council has not given permission for motorcycling anywhere on Parkwood. Any rider who does not have insurance or is not wearing a helmet is committing an offence. Penalties are severe.
The police can seize motorcycles which are causing alarm, distress or annoyance to the public. Illegal motorcycling is dangerous. The police regularly patrol the site using their own vehicles. They have erected signs telling people what they have to expect if they ride motorcycles on the site. They hope to scare them off, but they still rely on reports being made by local residents in order to take action on offenders. Please report illegal motorcycling every time you see it on Parkwood Springs! Simply call the police on non-emergency 24 hour number 101.
