Bingham Park forms part of the sequence of linked parks leading from near the city centre out to the edge of the Peak District. It was gradually acquired by Sheffield Corporation between 1911 and 1927. The area close to the Rustlings Road entrance has a formal character whilst the rest, other than sports areas, is mainly oak woodland. Prior to it's acquisition as a park the area consisted of fields with some sparse woodland. It is probable from the location of the fields near the floor of the Porter valley that the character was that of valley floor meadows. Legibility is invisible.
