Lovely on a sunny day. The pen spaces are well laid out and offer some shade from mature trees. The path by the river is busier and has some benches and picnic areas for the punt occupants. There are tennis courts and a public restroom further in and wide open spaces for recreational sport.

5/ 5

Beautiful park in the city, not far from the centre. The well kept paths make it really easy to walk or run around. You can walk down to the Thames and watch people punt in the summer time. There are plenty of benches, including one dedicated to J.R. Tolkien. There are also various spaces for sports. Overall a really beautiful green space to forget you are in the middle of a city.

University Parks good pitches for sports, and these days for me would be more used for good walks along the River and through the shaded tree areas. Definitely worth a visit when in Oxford.

5/ 5

It's hard to believe you are in the middle of a city in the expanse of the Parks. The huge old trees and well cared for borders almost feel like the grounds of a stately home in the countryside. Wildlife abounds on the river and in the trees, with birds aplenty and even the occasional otter family making their home in this beautiful pocket of nature. Oxford is a University city so students are frequently spotted inhabitants of the Parks, and it is lovely to see them having fun and bringing it to life in a different way.
