About

A park boulder in Darnall

The Darnall boulder is a sculpted artificial block in Darnall Community Park, off Darnall Road in east Sheffield.

It is one of more than a dozen artificial climbing boulders in Sheffield's parks documented by the community Sheffield Boulders wiki. They are free for anyone to use, with no booking, staff or opening times beyond the park's own, and are meant for fun and training rather than graded problems: the wiki deliberately gives no grades.

Before you go

  • Cost: free
  • Bring: shoes, chalk and ideally a pad and a spotter
  • Check first: landings vary, and park boulders can collect litter or broken glass, so look over the ground and holds before climbing
  • Safety: work out the easiest way down first; climbing is at your own risk
