High Hazels Park is a large parkland area in Darnall, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. Since the 19th century Darnall has been a centre of coal and steel industry in Sheffield. High Hazels Park was built in 1850 by William Jeffcock (the first Lord Mayor of Sheffield). In 1894, Sheffield City Council (the Corporation of Sheffield) bought the land and house from the Duke of Norfolk and Messers Jeffcock for £10,875. In 1895 the land was first used as a public recreation ground and was classed as one of the finest parks within the city of Sheffield. The park once boasted a fine boating lake which has since been covered up.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or park:
“Whatever is felt upon the page without being specifically named there—that, one might say, is created. It is the inexplicable presence of the thing not named, of the overtone divined by the ear but not heard by it, the verbal mood, the emotional aura of the fact or the thing or the deed, that gives high quality to the novel or the drama, as well as to poetry itself.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“The label of liberalism is hardly a sentence to public igominy: otherwise Bruce Springsteen would still be rehabilitating used Cadillacs in Asbury Park and Jane Fonda, for all we know, would be just another overweight housewife.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
