CCTV coverage is not available, and LED bollard lighting lines pedestrian pathways after dusk to ensure safe access. A paved footpath leads directly into Hillsborough Parks playgrounds, sports grounds, and skate park within a one-minute walk. Local bus stops on Penistone Road provide frequent services to Sheffield City Centre and Meadowhall. EV charging is not available on-site; the nearest rapid charger is at Hillsborough Park Car Park (main), a five-minute drive away. Covered cycle racks accommodating up to 10 bicycles are provided near the entrance to support sustainable travel by park-goers. Seasonal surface inspections ensure smooth tarmac and clear line markings.
