Oasis Park Opens on Phase 3a
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. The new park offers a brand-new play space designed to bring families together in a safe, vibrant outdoor environment.
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.
The Mayor of Houghton Regis, Councillor Michelle Herber, took great pleasure in formally opening the park and welcoming the new addition to the area.
“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.”

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.
Oasis Park offers a dedicated area for Linmere residents to play, socialise and stay active, with walkable connections from across the development.
Linmere, situated just north of Houghton Regis in Bedfordshire near M1 Junction 11a, is designed to embrace its natural surroundings while offering a high quality of life for all generations. Since the first homes were completed in 2021, the development has continued to evolve into a collection of leafy, accessible neighbourhoods.
