Firth Park, Victorian urban park in Sheffield, England
Firth Park is an urban park in Sheffield spread across two rectangular sections divided by Firth Park Road. It features woodland paths, open grassland, and sports facilities throughout its grounds.
Mark Firth, a Sheffield steel industrialist, donated the land in 1875 to create the park. Prince Albert Edward and Princess Alexandra inaugurated it with a ceremony attended by thousands of children.
The Grade II listed Clock Tower pavilion originally served as the park keeper's residence and refreshment rooms. Today it functions as a community center after restoration, welcoming visitors and locals alike.
The café in the First Start building offers refreshments throughout the week with extended hours on weekdays. The park is accessible and includes facilities for visitors with mobility needs.
The eastern section contains Hinde Common Wood, an ancient woodland first recorded in 1637. This forest area underwent restoration to encourage native tree species to flourish.
