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:
“We were uncertain whether the water floated the land, or the land held the water in its bosom. It was such a season, in short, as that in which one of our Concord poets sailed on its stream, and sung its quiet glories.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Is a park any better than a coal mine? What’s a mountain got that a slag pile hasn’t? What would you rather have in your garden—an almond tree or an oil well?”
—Jean Giraudoux (1882–1944)
