Recreational Grounds

There are four recreational grounds in Old Marston that the Parish Council is responsible for. Mortimer Hall Recreational Ground and the Orchard Triangle were once part of a larger ground before being split by the Marston Ferry Road. Mill Lane Recreational Ground is owned by the Oxford Preservation Trust and leased to the Parish Council who maintain it. Boults Lane Recreational Ground is used for local sports activities. Please contact the Parish Council if you have any queries relating to any of the recreational grounds. Scroll down for more information.
