Blackbird Leys Park is a 9 hectares 'green haven' in the middle of Blackbird Leys estate, with a tree-lined meandering brook and open grass areas. It is located in the South East of Oxford next to Blackbird Leys Leisure Centre.
History
The park was developed when the housing estate was built in the 1960's to house the workers at the Morris Motors Company Plant at nearby Cowley.
In the early 1990s the development of Greater Leys began. The original Leys estate and Greater Leys are now simply known as the Leys and its population at the time of the last census stood at 13,586.
What can I do there?
