I really want to say how awfull it is so that you all stay away and leave this little piece of Eden to me and my dog.
The grounds are kept really well with lots to see including students playing footie with their tops of on hot days.

The University Parks are open to everyone and have something for everyone. There's no cycling allowed, so no risk of being run down by hurried students, and it's surprisingly free from tourists, so the parks are a great place to get away from it all. There are park wardens to make sure people follow the rules, which makes it seem a little less liberating, but they are generally unobtrusive and friendly. They also shut at night, which is probably best safety wise, but is slightly alarming if you are there at closing time and feel you may get locked in!

The parks hold rare and tropical flowers and well-cultivated trees and flowerbeds which are home to all sorts of furry and feathered creatures if you just look hard enough. There are well-kept paths for joggers and pushchairs and lots of benches for the more romantic, people who want to eat or read, or just those who feel like watching the world go by. There's a duck pond near the river, where you can watch punters floating by, and sports fields where local cricketers, footballers and ultimate frisbee players train.

At some weekends there's an ice cream van near the entrance and during the week there's a great little crepe stand near the Keble Road entrance. The perfect place to escape the city without leaving behind the culture and beauty of Oxford.

I have visited several municipal parks, but never seen one as beautiful as this in the heart of a city. Despite its name it is not only frequented by students. You are sure to encounter joggers, tourists and (on weekends especially) families. Take your time exploring the park-visit the duck pond and the French crepe van, and watch the sports teams practise! A lovely respite from the bustle of the city centre.
