Overview

Concord Park is a large municipal green space in North Sheffield covering approximately 100 acres of woodland and parkland. The site features an 18-hole municipal golf course known for its undulating terrain and challenging layout. A network of walking trails traverses the park, connecting the residential areas of Shiregreen and Wincobank. The area includes formal sporting facilities, specifically cricket and football pitches maintained for local use. Much of the woodland consists of mature oaks and hawthorns, providing a habitat for diverse local bird populations. Historically, the land served as part of the wider Ecclesfield parish before its development as a public recreational facility. It remains a primary destination for residents seeking expansive outdoor space in the S5 area.

Insider tips

Bring sturdy footwear, as the paths can become muddy and uneven in the woodland sections.

Check the local golf course maintenance schedule online if you plan to walk near the fairways to avoid interference with play.

Use the higher elevation trails during early morning for the best visibility across the valley.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to walk across active golf fairways; follow the designated perimeter footpaths instead.

Etiquette

Stay on marked paths in wooded areas; keep dogs under control, especially near the golf course.
