Take a closer look at Skyline Enterprises’ plans for the former Sheffield Ski Village in this gallery of newly-released images.
After years of rumours and false starts, the New Zealand-based developer in adventure tourism unveiled its plans to transform the ruined site on Parkwood Springs in August.
A public consultation opened on September 1 asking the public to share their views on plans ahead of planning permission being formally submitted later this year.
It came with four fresh computer-generated images of Skyline’s vision for the park, revealing for the first time what the view of Parkwood Springs could look like in a decade’s time.
This gallery takes a closer look at each feature in turn, with a ski slope, chair lift, karting experience, and something called ‘Beat The Storm’ all on the cards, along with infrastructure like car parks and a children’s play area.

7. Car park and coach parking
A car park for approximately 200 cars, with parking for coaches nearby. Skyline says one of their first projects would be redesigning roads leading to the construction site to better handle traffic and jobs for the redevelopment. | Skyline Enterprises
8. Ponds
A collection of small ponds are visible in one image. This could be a sign Skyline is interested in making the gravity park welcoming to walk around on its own - or else they have meet biodiversity targets to meet. | Skyline Enterprises
