Cutteslowe Park

Well it's only taken us 9 weeks to get to Cutteslowe Park but with a warm, (still) cloudy day we couldn't put it off any longer! After school on Thursday we headed over the bridge crossing the dual carriageway Oxford ring road, stopping first for some strawberries and cherries before tackling the playground.




As far as playgrounds go, this park is well stocked. There is a treehouse with bridge and big slide, a zip line (UK lingo for flying fox!) and large sand pit. Separate to this area is a fenced off section containing numerous climbing, swinging, moving play equipment.

We had a great few hours there. Even managed to fit in an ice cream while waiting for Andy to arrive after running from work. When he did turn up, the poor thing was covered in hives and had watery eyes due to the long grass encountered while running along the river. From that reaction I imagine he'll be very careful choosing routes to avoid such areas in the future.
