South Parks Road is a road in Oxford, England.[1][2] It runs east–west past the main Science Area of the University of Oxford. Many of the university science departments are located nearby or face the road, including parts of the geography, zoology, chemistry, psychology and physiology departments. Also on the road is Rhodes House.
In December 2018 it was announced that the proposed new graduate college of the university, Parks College, opening in September 2020, will be located on South Parks Road.[3]
Halifax House was located at 8 South Parks Road on the corner with Mansfield Road from 1961, a social club for people associated with Oxford University.[5] The building has since been demolished to make way for new science facilities for the university. Evidence of Bronze Age barrows together with later prehistoric and early Romanfield systems has been found on the site.[6]
