High Hazels Park (Sheffield)

United Kingdom / England / Treeton / Sheffield
High Hazels Park is a large parkland area in Darnall, Sheffield.

The 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. The land was first used as a public recreation ground in 1895 and was classed as one of the finest parks within the city of Sheffield.
