Concord Park

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)

    “and the words never said,
    And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
    We sat in the car park till twenty to one
    And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
