City park with fiction-inspired play areas & sculptures, basketball & tennis courts & a zip wire.
We enjoyed the park tremendously. There was even a ping pong board or two with bat's and balls ! free to use Lots of activities things to climb on and some interesting but weathered wooden sculptures related to C.s Lewis's The Lion witch and the wardrobe. Toilets were locked at the park, but there is a lovely fish and chip shop over the road to eat drink etc. Lots of greenery and old trees good for a walk as well as playtime.
It's one of my favourite places to go in Oxford during the summer. After you finish remember to get chips or scampi and chips in the chippie opposite or visit the Greek restaurant. Visitor highlights: the playground and the super friendly squirrels! Update: they now have a little cafe at the park which is a welcome addition. See my photos. You can either order takeaway from the side or come in. The staff are extra polite and you can order from a dog menu as well as kids and adults!
A great place for a walk, to take children, dog friendly too. A spacious open park with an enclosed play park which has a sandpit. There are various bigger activities to use outside of the enclosed area so the park can cater to all ages. Lots of space for ball games with a mini goal and a full size basket ball net. The park has a long history and hosts many squirrels
The newly upgraded mini golf is a delight and not expensive. The full sun being somewhat overwhelming we had our refreshments afterwards inside the air conditioned cafe. I appreciated that my cup of tea was a proper pot in pleasing crockery. A happy afternoon
Lovely little place in the middle of Headington, Oxford!! Who would have thought?! Tucked away just out of sight on London Road- busy road with loads of shops. We're dog sitting so this was one to try. Quiet busy but big enough to accommodate many picnickers! Quite a a few dogs running about, so had to be careful with picnicking on the grass. Good things to look at and read. Park for all ages, young and old. Would recommend it for both- picnicking and dog walking, with or without a dog! Maybe grab a few things from the shops near by and have a quick lunch? Easily spend a couple of hours contemplating life and watching the world go by! Worth a visit, definitely!
Big green park on Headington Oxford with beautiful big trees, very colourful at spring and autumn , full of birds , including red kites. Big green spaces let you rest from the screens. There are also welcoming benches for family lunches and play grounds for children. Sporty people like to run here.
