Concord Park is a large park in the North of Sheffield, England, between Shiregreen and Wincobank.
The park consists of Concord Park Golf Course, a country park and Woolley Woods, bordered by Ecclesfield Road.
A historic cruck barn lies at the entrance to the park, the last remnant of the Mediaeval hamlet of Oaksfold.
Famous quotes containing the words concord and/or park:
“When, said Mr. Phillips, he communicated to a New Bedford audience, the other day, his purpose of writing his life, and telling his name, and the name of his master, and the place he ran from, the murmur ran round the room, and was anxiously whispered by the sons of the Pilgrims, “He had better not!” and it was echoed under the shadow of the Concord monument, “He had better not!””
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Borrow a child and get on welfare.
Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,
or go to the public park with the child, and take the child
to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
