Originally used as landfill site for domestic waste, the land that is now known as Penny Pie Park is a large recreational playing field and urban park, open to the public.

It is located in Pogmoor, Barnsley and is owned by the local council.

A railway separates its northern edge from another council field which is situated opposite.

It contains multipurpose sports facilities and personal training fitness stations, as well as a vast area of green space, popular with runners and dog walkers.

It is often used as a site for pigeon fanciers to race pigeons, and as a landing site for hot air balloons and air ambulances.
