Oxford University Parks are a combined green oasis on the University of Oxford's campus, originally laid out for recreational activities in 1864. The beautiful park, which once belonged to the university's Merton College, serves as a significant green space for the city, open 364 days a year to university students, local residents, and area visitors alike. Beautiful walking trails traverse the length of the River Cherwell along the park's northeastern edge, while a small island known as Mesopotamia sits between the river's lower and upper levels. More than 1,600 trees of 250 species line the park, including endangered and vulnerable tree species. Attractions include landscaped gardens, an historic cricket ground, day-use picnic areas, and spaces for pickup games of lacrosse, football, tennis, and rugby.
