This is an important local recreational area for Southdown residents and visitors. The space includes a small grass area and separate fenced off play facilities with wooden play equipment: slides, swings, large boat climbing structure, basket swing and toddler rockers.
Oakley Road Green Space was acquired by the Town Council in 2022 and since then we have improved biodiversity by maintaining and improving existing countryside hedgerows, planting wildlife friendly trees and creating a meadow.
