Near the Botanic Garden in Oxford is a fabulous playground. As we visited famous colleges and landmarks in the university town, the children insisted on visiting something more child-friendly. We couldn't resist either.

| Wait, is it closed? I don't see other kids?!? |
Happily, the playground was not closed and we had it to ourselves, which meant unlimited climbing and sunshine, a rare treat in England.

Some of the rides seemed too scary, like this lizard, so they were avoided.

A sand pit included a nice boat with plenty of playful opportunities.

Being Oxford, the creators couldn't help but throw in something scientific to expand the children's minds while they played.

The playground had a third area with more mundane obstacles.

The last obstacle was definitely the toughest, a brick wall. Luckily it was not too big so we just walked around it.
