Oak Mead Family Golf and Recreation Area is immediately opposite Oakdown to the west - the meadow which has the Field Trail leading to the Donkey Sanctuary on its northern boundary and our Victorian Reed Bed and Bird Hide in the south west corner. Oak Mead has been planned from the very start as a family attraction and opened for all to enjoy in Summer 2003. The course is a 9 hole par 3 and 748 yards long.

All holes have a floral name (to complement all the trees that mark the groves on Oakdown). Try your skills on Honeysuckle Bank, First Foxglove, Daisy Chain or Marigold Dip - excitingly near the landscaped lake!

Trees have been planted, two wild flower areas sown and a dewpond is being developed. The seeds are sown, the mowers are a-moving and our lovely warm weather is helping to bring the course to perfection. The adjacent recreation area will be for families to enjoy games, picnics and old fashioned family fun.
