I have the utmost appreciation for the Oxley area for the wonderful variety of parks it has. One of the most popular just borders off Oxley, called Dunlop Park. It is popular for all the right reasons. First of all, there is the local swimming pool where numerous children in the area have come to learn how to swim, attend school swim events or swim recreationally. This big park boasts two playgrounds, a half court basketball court, cricket pitch and a soccer field. There is plenty of space for the kids to run around and plenty of trees around to provide shade for rests. There is a BBQ with shaded picnic table and chairs nearby, which is perfect for family days out. Also if you have a dog, you can bring them to the dog park where they can run around unleashed and play with the hoops, ramps and hurdles. You can park your car off the streets of Oxley Road, such as Hughes St. Alternatively commuting here by train is also convenient as it is nearby.
