Haden Hill Park is at Haden Hill, between Halesowen and Old Hill in the West Midlands, England, on the southern edge of the Black Country. Within its grounds are the sixteenth and seventeenth century Haden Hall (also known as Haden Hill Old Hall), the Victorian Haden Hill House and Corngreaves Nature Reserve. The estate, of which the Park was a central part, was built up by the Haden family over many hundreds of years, before passing to the Barrs family by marriage in 1876. In 1877 it passed to George Alfred Haden Haden-Best (1839–1921) who built Haden Hill House and developed the parkland. On his death in 1921, it was bequeathed to his nephews, the Bassano brothers, who offered it for sale. It was bought by Rowley Regis Borough Council (later succeeded by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council) following a public subscription in 1922 and became a public facility. A major restoration programme over the period 2000–2007 was largely funded by the National Lottery. The Park has been given a Green Flag Award every year since 2004 and also has been a Green Heritage Site winner. In addition, the park won the Black Country Hotel and Tourism Awards ('Small Visitor Attraction' category) in 2008. Sandwell Council lists Haden Hill Park as one of the borough's nine "flagship parks".
