Mayor officially opens new Oasis Park in Houghton Regis
A new play-space has opened in Houghton Regis - giving families a safe and vibrant place to play.
The Mayor of Houghton Regis, and the Linmere Delivery Team, were joined by residents to celebrate the official opening of Oasis Park, at Linmere, Houghton Regis.
Located within Phase 3a of the Linmere development, Oasis Park offers a dedicated area for children up to the age of 12 to play, socialise and stay active. The park forms part of Linmere’s wider vision to create connected, walkable neighbourhoods that prioritise wellbeing and community life.
Mayor of Houghton Regis, Councillor Michelle Herber, formally opened the park and welcomed the new addition to the area.
She said: “It’s a real pleasure to be here today, as Mayor of Houghton Regis, to welcome a fantastic green space that will be enjoyed by residents for years to come.
"Spaces like this play such an important role in bringing communities together, supporting wellbeing, and creating somewhere families, friends and neighbours can relax, play and connect.
"I would like to commend the developers for their vision and commitment to providing high quality community spaces as part of the Linmere development. This park is a clear example of what can be achieved when growth is paired with thoughtful investment in people and place.” The opening event drew a strong turnout from local residents, reflecting the enthusiasm for new shared spaces within the development.
Nikki Steele, part of the Linmere delivery team, said: “It's positive to see so many residents join the team in officially opening the park today. The design, layout and features have been carefully designed to offer an important facility on this phase of the Linmere development. We know it will attract residents from all over the development, for many years to come.” Oasis Park is the latest addition to Linmere’s growing network of green spaces, which will be maintained and preserved by The Land Trust on behalf of the Houghton Regis Management Company, ensuring the park remains a valued community asset for years to come.
