The estate, of which the Park was a central part, was built up by the Haden family over many hundreds of years. In 1877 it passed to George Alfred Haden Haden-Best (1839–1921) who built Haden Hill House and developed the parkland. It was bought by Rowley Regis Urban District Council following a public subscription in 1922 and became a public facility.[1]
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.[2] Sandwell Council lists Haden Hill Park as one of the borough's nine "flagship parks".[3]
