Sheffield Park may refer to the following places:
Sheffield Park is an 8 acre urban park at 1300 Tarrington Avenue in the Sheffield/Winterfield neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina. It features a playground, a picnic shelter, and one court for each of tennis, softball, and basketball.
Sheffield Park is adjacent to Westfield Park, Evergreen Cemetery, and Evergreen Nature Preserve. Together these three parcels of city owned land provide over 100 acres of woodlands within minutes of uptown Charlotte.
In 2008 Mecklenburg County voters approved a $250 million bond to improve and expand parks. One result was construction of a 77-acre urban forest to be known as Evergreen Nature Preserve. It is named after the adjacent Evergreen Cemetery on Central Avenue. The preserve contains a variety of habitats and attracts many migratory birds during the fall and spring. Mecklenburg County Park and Rec holds occasional festivals celebrating migratory birds at Evergreen. For example, in cooperation with Reedy Creek Nature Preserve, May 1, 2010 was declared International Migratory Birds Day at the Evergreen Nature Preserve.

Sheffield (i/ˈʃɛfiːld/) is a city and metropolitan borough in South Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, its name derives from the River Sheaf, which runs through the city. With some of its southern suburbs annexed from Derbyshire, the city has grown from its largely industrial roots to encompass a wider economic base. The population of the City of Sheffield is 563,749 (mid-2014 est.) and it is one of the eight largest regional English cities that make up the Core Cities Group. Sheffield is the third largest English district by population. The metropolitan population of Sheffield is 1,569,000
During the 19th century, Sheffield gained an international reputation for steel production. Many innovations were developed locally, including crucible and stainless steel, fuelling an almost tenfold increase in the population in the Industrial Revolution. Sheffield received its municipal charter in 1843, becoming the City of Sheffield in 1893. International competition in iron and steel caused a decline in traditional local industries in the 1970s and 1980s, coinciding with the collapse of coal mining in the area.
Sheffield is a city in South Yorkshire, England.

Sheffield was a European Parliament constituency covering the City of Sheffield and parts of Derbyshire in England.
Prior to its uniform adoption of proportional representation in 1999, the United Kingdom used first-past-the-post for the European elections in England, Scotland and Wales. The European Parliament constituencies used under that system were smaller than the later regional constituencies and only had one Member of the European Parliament each.
When the constituency was created in 1979, it consisted of the Westminster Parliament constituencies of Chesterfield, Derbyshire North East, Sheffield Attercliffe, Sheffield Brightside, Sheffield Hallam, Sheffield Heeley, Sheffield Hillsborough and Sheffield Park. In 1984, Park was replaced by Sheffield Central, and the boundaries of the other constituencies changed. Larger changes occurred in 1994, when the Derbyshire constituencies were removed to Nottinghamshire North and Chesterfield and replaced by Barnsley West and Penistone.
