Hinksey Park

Beautiful park! Playground for children of all ages. Little toddler climbing frame and slide, swings. Sand pit, climbing frame for older kids too. Warning, the toilets are gross so I wouldn’t recommend letting your little ones use it. There is also a splash park, heated swimming pool, and tennis court facilities too. You can also see the train tracks and oncoming trains if you go over the bridge and climb the stairs. Great for kids! There is a community cafe with hot drinks and cake/soup available, which is open on Tuesday 10:30 till 2pm, and Thursday 1:30pm till 3:30pm. Coffee van from Jericho coffee traders are there too, not sure what days specifically. Parking here is limited, I never come by car but I always see cars having to leave as there are no spaces. Gets really busy during school holidays and sunny days.

This is a lovely spot with outdoor swimming facilities and a stunning view of the lake. You can also see the train tracks nearby, which might get a bit noisy at times, but the sunset view makes up for it with its beauty. The only downside is parking—I used RingGo for an hour but couldn’t extend my stay beyond that. Next time, I might need to book for two hours or more in advance.
