Hurlingham Park is a multi-use stadium in Fulham, London, England . It is currently used mostly for rugby matches, football matches and athletics events and is the home of Hammersmith and Fulham Rugby Football Club.
It is best known as the location for Monty Python's Upper Class Twit of the Year sketch. The venue opened in 1879, the same year as Fulham F.C. were established, who are thought to have played here when they were still a boys' church side. It had a seated capacity of around 2,500 people until the stands were torn down in 2002.

Famous quotes containing the word park:
“Is a park any better than a coal mine? What’s a mountain got that a slag pile hasn’t? What would you rather have in your garden—an almond tree or an oil well?”
