Description
Cutteslowe and Sunnymead Park spans 42 hectares and consists of two sections: Cutteslowe Park to the north and Sunnymead Park to the south. The park has a central area with a cafe, mini golf and various family activities. The park has a nice community woodland and a section of fields that flood seasonally, along with agricultural land and a duck pond. Isfugl can be seen on the river Cherwell, which is accessible at the park, while Glente and Spurvehauk are common across the area. The woodland hosts Spettmeis and Rugde occasionally, while the farmland has Sanglerke and can have Gulspurv.

Walking or cycling north out of the park and into farmland is picturesque and great for Sanglerke, as well as providing a decent hill to watch for common raptors and access to the Cherwell where Isfugl can be seen. The best place for Gråhegre is Sunnymead park where they are present often.
