Hillsborough Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hillsborough Park is a large parkland area in Hillsborough, Sheffield. The park was created in 1897 by the Dixon Family, who built Hillsborough Hall. It is now owned by Sheffield City Council and the hall is used as a library.

Hillsborough Park features a fishing lake, a bowling green with pavilion, a walled garden and a playground. The bowling green and pavilion (Hillsborough Pavilion) are undergoing regenerative work to extend the pavilion, to make it available for further use. A lot of work has been put into the Walled Garden to bring it to its present state with planting to replace dead plants.

The park has previously been home to Sheffield F.C. and now hosts the home matches of Hillsborough Hawks rugby league club. Hillsborough Park has its own tram stop on the Yellow Line of the Sheffield Supertram.
