00:00 What do you think the best thing is to do with your family during the summer holidays in Sheffield?
00:06 I think as long as the families are all happy, doing what they like, but I think taking them places that don't cost much, because that's a problem at the moment.
00:19 Is it a good place to go? Where would you advise people to go?
00:22 Swimming, Ponds Forge. I don't know if that's expensive or not because I haven't swum for a long time.
00:29 Is it a good day out there?
00:30 Yes, I would think so. And going to museums and animal parks and what have you.
00:36 Which museum do you think is the best one?
00:38 I haven't been to the museum in years. There was one at Western Park, there's one over there.
00:46 What did you like about that one?
00:48 Well, it was my granddaughter loved all the bits that she can do, play with and be entertained. So that kept her amused.
00:57 What do you think the best thing to do with the family is in Sheffield during the summer holidays?
01:03 Get outside. It's the greenest city in Europe. Go for a walk along Loxley Valley Bottom, that's what I recommend.
01:09 What did you like about that one?
01:11 It's fantastic. It takes you straight out into the Peak District. You walk past all sorts of different wildlife. There's the river, obviously. It's so relaxing.
01:21 And even the kids, even though they've complained throughout their childhood about being taken on boring walks, even they ask to go on it now.
01:28 What do you think the best thing to do is with the family in Sheffield during the summer holidays?
01:32 We're fortunate because we've got a park straight across the road from where we live. So it's Norfolk Park and it's absolutely brilliant for kiddies.
01:40 What's best about Norfolk Park then?
01:42 Because the facilities there. They've got a cafe, which is alright for kiddies. They've got a nice play area, which is well looked after. So, yeah, that's what I think, anyhow.
01:54 What do you think the best place to go with the family is on a summer's day in Sheffield?
01:58 Well, we really enjoyed a visit to Encliff Park. We went with our daughter some time ago, but it's a beautiful open space and people were just relaxing and chilling around, sitting on the grass and enjoying the sunshine.
02:12 Could you tell me what you think's the best thing for families to do during the summer holidays in Sheffield?
02:18 Go to the parks and have picnics.
02:21 Do you have a favourite one?
02:23 Encliff Park.
02:25 Is that your favourite?
02:26 Yeah, that's the one I live near.
02:28 What do you think the best thing to do on a summer's day with your family in Sheffield is?
02:33 I think there's so much to do with the garden parks and everything that they have on offer. I think we're very fortunate.
02:40 Do you have a favourite park?
02:41 The East Coast as well. Millhouses, again.
02:46 And the East Coast as well, you like?
02:48 The East Coast. Wonderful for a day out.
02:51 What do you think the best thing to do during the summer holidays is with your family in Sheffield?
02:57 Well, Millhouses Park is really good. It's got a cafe and a boating lake and it's got activities for children and a playground.
03:06 And it's nice to walk as well and watch people playing tennis.
