Florence Park is a stunning park with lots of beautiful flowerbeds and a tree avenue. It is in East Oxford, five minutes' walk from Cowley Road and Templars Square.

The park is proud to fly its Green Flag Award. The Green Flag is the standard for parks and green spaces in England and Wales, awarded by Keep Britain Tidy. It is a means of recognising and rewarding the best green spaces in the country.

The park opened in 1934 after the land was presented to the City by Councillor F.E. Moss in memory of his sister Florence. A plaque commemorating this event can be found on the original gates.

More recently, local school children created a mosaic which is displayed in the park and celebrates the 40th birthday of the Florence Park estate.

By foot or cycle: The park is bordered by Cornwallis Road, Rymers Lane and Campbell Road with easy access from all three roads.

By Bus: The 103/104 Heyfordian service stops on Rymers Lane. Alternatively numerous buses stop on the Cowley Road and Iffley Road, which is a short walk away.

There is no parking available.
