“Southampton Common supports a wide variety of wildlife, including one of the largest populations of the nationally rare great crested newts in Britain. The park hosts various community events, such as the Flower Festival and the Race for Life for Cancer Research UK. Covering 365 acres, it features woodlands, rough grasslands, ponds, wetlands, and lakes. The design encourages adventurous play with zip wires, a climbing tower, slides, swings, and a roundabout. The park also offers a new nature play and water play area that is popular with kids of all ages. Many picnic benches and seating areas make it ideal for picnics, and The Cowherds pub, located near the playground, offers a range of food options.”
