Great range of more formal, games, kids playground, sports and open areas. The kind of park needed in other areas of Oxford. Nice cafe too.

Lovely park just outside the City. Tennis, trapeze, café, great for walking the dog & the kids - there’s a nice play area, too next to the café. Also handy for the excellent local pub ‘The Jolly Postboys’

The children love this park. Always a little worried we will get there and there will be no parking spaces available but this seems to be less frequent since the introduction of the pay and display machines which you pay on Ringo parking app.

This is a great park with lots of green space, plenty of amenities such as toilets, water bottle refill stations and parking.

The park has a large play area next to a cafe that serves refreshments. There are tennis courts and a table tennis table.

The park is also well maintained and clean, giving an idyllic atmosphere wherever you go.

Really peaceful park. Lovely place to sit and read or if you're lucky listen to musicians jamming at the band-stand.

A lovely little park. Good for a walk, family outing or relaxation. No workout equipment. A pull up bar and parallel bars would take it to five stars.
Be sure to check out Flos café. It has a fantastic vegan selection of truly scrumptious treats. Try to brownies!
The playgrounds are really good. Especially for kids 18 months - 6 years.
