The University Parks Oxford


Located just behind Oxford Natural History Museum, University Park could be the prettiest stretch of green in Oxford.


The parks consist of about 70 acres of parkland on the west bank of the River Cherwell and a 4 acre piece of land known as Mesopotamia because of its location between the Weir and Cherwell rivers.


When I was there this morning, a University football team was practicing on the large fields in the middle of the Parks. Joggers, dog walkers, and strollers are always out and about. Benches scattered throughout the multiple "walks" within the Parks are perfect for reading or admiring the general splendor.


I've been three times this week and still haven't seen all of the grounds. I did however notice a Crepes O Mania stand...
