Description
Parkwood Springs Mountain Bike Trails sit just a mile north of Sheffield city centre, on the hillside above Neepsend. The site is free to ride and packs in a 2km blue-graded trail with optional red lines, a Dual Slalom track, and a separate paved pump track by the car park.

The Trails
- The main trail is a 2km blue-graded loop, built to be rollable from top to bottom, with optional red-grade lines for riders who want extra speed and bigger features. Pump sections, lips, berms, jumps and doubles keep it flowing throughout.
- The Dual Slalom track is a fast, head-to-head blast of linked berms and rollers offering multiple line choices, finishing with a long, steep right-hander.
Pump Track
- A separate paved pump track sits in the open grass field beside the main trails, close to the car park and entrance.
- The asphalt loop of rollers and small berms suits all bike sizes, and is a good spot for skills laps away from the main trail.
Accessible Riding
- Sheffield Cycling 4 All runs pre-booked inclusive cycling sessions at Parkwood Springs for disabled riders and anyone with a long-term health condition, using stable e-assist cycles with support from trained ride leaders. Sessions cost ยฃ5, no experience is necessary and equipment is provided; contact Sheffield Cycling 4 All directly to book and check current session times.
Local Organisation
- Parkwood Springs is managed by Ride Sheffield, the volunteer trail group that also looks after Greno Woods, Lady Canning's, and Bolehills BMX.
- The trails were built with input from Sheffield-born former downhill World Champion Steve Peat, and the site has become one of the city's busiest urban riding spots, used thousands of times a year.
Getting Here
The main trailhead and car park are on Shirecliffe Road (S5 8XB), open at weekends; please park considerately on Shirecliffe Road itself if visiting during the week. Many riders instead park at the bottom of the hill and ride up via the bridleway on Rutland Road as a warm-up, one of a couple of ways onto the trails for people already on their bikes. Sheffield Railway Station is about 2.5 miles away.
