University Parks

This is the private park of the University of Oxford. It is open to the public. There are tennis courts for the use of the University Tennis club members (who must wear white), as well as a cricket house and lawn. Has different access gates (South Parks, Lady Margaret Hall, Parks Rd, etc). No cycling on the park. Ball games in some areas.

A nice place to chill out in the centre of Oxford. Has some well-kept grass and runs along the river for amazing atmosphere - especially in the summer! There are cows there too. There are some great older trees. Plenty of ducks and uni students punting on the river. It's basically a nice atmosphere to chill out in or take your picnic on the grass. University parks has a fairly gravel path around it if you're using a wheelchair. A rear wheeled powerchair can do it easily. Do NOT attempt to cross any of the bridges if you're in a wheelchair. This park is definitely suitable for most people with autism even in the busy periods because the paths are wide and if you are able to go off path then there are plenty of sweet spots to relax.

People walking their dog, doing their morning run, talking with each other, some squirrels running around. All in all 5 stars, could not have enjoyed this park more.

Beautiful park in the centre of Oxford, located near the National History museum, the Pitt Rivers and University colleges. A lot of people jog there, play frisbee, football, rugby or cricket. The park is a popular venue for picnics. The park also has 25 nests for swifts.

Wonderful walks. Lots of old trees and tree species. Great scenery, and pleasant along the river. Be watchful, the closing hours change with the seasons for sunset.
