Park Up and Play is our outdoor play group for parents and children. Join us for the first get together after the summer. You’ll meet other local families who are learning to live and thrive with spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus. We gather every week in a park around Sheffield and the surrounding area, to chat, catch up, share stories and advice and get a breath of fresh air together.
We’re a friendly bunch and love to welcome new faces. We’ll go to a different park each week, depending on the requests of the group. This might be the group for you if you struggle to get to North Sheffield for our other events, because the location will vary. Feel free to contact Nina (Events Coordinator) on 07752665411 for more information or to suggest a place to meet.

Our friendly team set up and run plenty of activities, including books, sensory fun, toys and music. The children have a great time and it’s a great opportunity to connect with other parents/carers who are in a similar situation. We meet every week, so you can really build lasting relationships. Our team members also have personal experience of children with additional needs, making it a unique and helpful local group.
Our venues are excellent and easily accessible. We alternate between two family centres, so make sure to check the location for each week. We hope to see you at our NEW Barnsley inclusive playgroup!
