Welcome
Oakley
Park. An oasis in the heart of Fleet and just a few minutes walk
from the high street. A lovley park consisting of a large playing field,
streams, a football pitch, children's play facilities and three acres
of woodland. The main park area is flat and grassed with a network of
pathways whilst the woodland is rich in native plants and wild life
with a dipping pond where ducks meander and dragonflies breed. Home
to bats, foxes, squirels, a variety of birdlife and fish in the clear
water streams. The woodland is unusual, in that it supports such a variety
of animal and plant life within the three acres.
The Friends of Oakley Park, is a non profit making community organisation established over twenty years ago by local residents concerned about the lack of investment into the park. Our aim is to improve the parkland and enhance the facilities for the benefit and enjoyment of everyone. Completely supported by donations and run by volunteers, the Friends of Oakley Park is established as the "community voice" for matters relating to the park. A successful organisation which over the years has managed to revitalise Oakly Park as a child friendly, interesting and well used community parkland. more
The Committee, on behalf of the membership, lobby the council and local MP's, approach local businesses for sponsorship, apply for grants, manage the investment projects and run community events to raise revenue.
Our Members freely give their time to actively maintain and improve the park through volunteer work sessions. This could be anything from painting the basketball pole, clearing the brambles in the woods to running a fund raising event.
