The developed design for the new park has been completed and the formal procurement process begun, making way for construction of the new Tachbrook Country Park to start later this year (2026). This milestone brings us closer to creating one of the district’s largest shared green spaces.

The new 49-hectare amenity will connect new neighbourhoods and communities to Oakley School and other public facilities planned for the area. The country park will provide accessible, sustainable green space and an array of public benefits for all ages, including a new network of paths connected to existing footpaths and cycleways, play areas, habitats for wildlife and food growing areas.

Until work is completed the public is strongly advised not to enter the land as parts of the area are unsafe underfoot, especially for young children.

The project team would like to thank everyone who came along to our public engagement events held at Oakley School (16 June 2026) and Heathcote Community Centre (20 June 2026), the comments and feedback were gratefully received

Update - August 2026

Our contractor will be undertaking a drone survey over the land for Tachbrook Country Park. The survey is planned to start on Monday 10 August and should take approximately 3 days to complete.

The purpose of the survey is to capture site information ahead of construction works for the creation of the country park planned for later this year.
