Enjoy a colourful children's playground and open green space perfect for families, with outdoor gym equipment and scenic walking routes.

Boxhill Park is a welcoming family-friendly destination featuring a large, colourful children's playground at its western end alongside expansive open green spaces. The rectangular park spans approximately 240 metres by 80 metres and provides an ideal setting for outdoor activities, with open areas suitable for ball games and recreational play. Beyond the playground, families can explore mature trees at the eastern end, recently planted fruit trees along the northern edge, and several pieces of adult exercise equipment positioned around the perimeter. The park serves as a hub for community wellness, hosting beginners' exercise classes during summer evenings and offering accessible connectivity through local walking routes, including Healthy Abingdon Circular Walks 2 and 10. The venue's rich history as a former football ground adds character to the landscape, evidenced by a notable football mural on the old clubhouse. With its pushchair-friendly pathways, open layout, and mix of play facilities and natural spaces, Boxhill Park caters to families with young children seeking outdoor recreation in a safe, community-focused environment.

Well, this is a large rectangular space where you can walk yourself and your dog, it's not dog secure just to add and gas a road next to it. I've heard tell that sometimes the selling of 'funny' tobacco takes place here, I've never managed to get there at the right time so cannot confirm this, I will of course keep trying 😀🙃

The shelter area needed cleaning but other play equipment ok. I remember it being better when I was a kid 😏

Play area was nice, with: swings, two slides, small climbing wall, climbing net, sit down (baby) round about and two rocking horse things. It's also got a small basketball court and covered sitting area. There's also has several weighting lifting equipment. There's a large field (including football field) too. There's only parking when there's football but there's plenty of on street parking.
