terrace of Haden Hall from the farmland beyond. This was removed during the 1960s to facilitate park maintenance but restored as part of the National Lottery Project. Corngreaves nature reserve Following the closure of the Corngreaves Golf Course in 1999, a programme of tree-planting was undertaken to create a nature reserve which has been incorporated into the park. Hermitage Near the Boating Lake is the last remnant of a hermitage built by Haden-Best. Gallery Former features Swimming pool An unheated open-air swimming pool was opened in 1922, in land to the immediate west of the stables block. This was closed in 1966 and no trace remains. Sons of Rest On a slope below the houses was a building known as the Sons of Rest, where retired men would meet. The name derived from The Sons of Rest Movement, a social organisation that has provided leisure facilities for men of retirement age in and around Birmingham and the Black Country since 1927, and more recently for women as well. At its peak, the movement had 29 buildings. The Haden Hill Park building was opened in 1937 and destroyed by fire in 2000. Bandstand A bandstand was donated when the park entered public ownership and sited in the grass bowl. It was very popular during the early days of the park hosting weekly performances through the summer, especially on Sunday evenings. It was rebuilt in 1938 and removed in 1967. Ornamental pools In addition to the Boating Lake, Haden-Best constructed three small pools higher up the park which fed the Boating Lake through a series of Waterfalls. These have now been filled in. Football fields There have been two football fields laid out in the grounds. One was in the grassy bowl, made in 1949, the other in the 9-acre field and was opened in 1953. Both had been discontinued by the 1970s. Par 3 golf course In 1977, a Municipal nine-hole Par 3 Golf Course was created on land associated with Corngreaves Hall, to the immediate west of the nine-acre field which had been incorporated into the Park in 1922. In the nineteenth century a mineral railway ran across this land connecting various collieries with the Dudley Canal. A section of the former railway's embankment was used as one of the tee locations; the green being 100 yards away in the valley below. In 1985, the nine acre field itself was
