Heeley People's Park (formerly Heeley Millennium Park) is a community-owned park split into six distinct sites and a range of spaces that make it like "a mini Peak District on the doorstep".

It was built on a residential area which was razed in the 1960s/70s for a new dual carriageway. The road was never built and the land was neglected until the 1990s when a local group developed plans to turn it into a community park.

Today it boasts two world-class boulders, cycle tracks, picnic and play areas, incredible views,, wildflower meadows and orchards. There are plans, if fund raising targets are achieved, to develop the park further with a permanent stage for events, a cafe/toilets, a new world-class boulder, and new bike tracks.
