Details

Marston Road Sports Ground serves as a premier sports facility nestled in East Oxford, closely associated with the University of Oxford. This venue offers a distinct character, providing a dedicated space for athletic pursuits amidst a generally tucked-away setting near the John Radcliffe Hospital. It stands out for its well-maintained pitches and a palpable sense of sporting energy, drawing visitors who appreciate focused and active environments.

The ground primarily hosts regular football, cricket, and rugby fixtures, with its meticulously manicured grass pitches available for one-off bookings by various groups. A large pavilion on-site provides essential amenities including changing facilities, a kitchen, and communal space for participants. For those arriving by bicycle, convenient cycle racks are available, and spectators can often enjoy matches from benches along the boundary.

This sports ground particularly suits football and grass rugby enthusiasts, whether they are participating directly or simply wishing to observe local matches. It works well for university clubs and external groups seeking quality pitches for their events, as well as individuals looking for a vibrant sporting atmosphere without the hustle of larger public venues. Its overall appeal lies in offering an authentic and well-cared-for sporting experience in a focused setting.

Big and well maintained cricket ground in Marston. Google maps takes you to the others idea of the ground. Get on to the edgware road from Marston Road and to the end of the road to reach the ground.

Here for U9s football match. Very limited parking but plenty in the nearby streets (no permit needed at the weekend) then a 5 minute walk. If the club house is open there are changing facilities and toilets.
