Living on St. Johns Park

The park is in a peaceful, quiet position in a central and convenient location for Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Oxfordshire and there is a bus service from the entrance of
the park to Lechlade and Swindon, daily except Sundays.

The park office is situated at the main entrance to the park. The liaison officer deals with the routine administration and provides helpful advice and assistance to the residents and visitors. The Park Warden lives on the park deals with all the routine maintenance and general upkeep.

Due to the attractive location, a high proportion of the residents have chosen St Johns Park as the place to enjoy their retirement years. There is a strong sense of community with many of residents having lived on the park for over twenty years.

The park has been developed over many years to a good standard and there are tarmac roads throughout the park with street lighting that remains on throughout the night. Car
parking for residents and visitors is provided through a combination of individual parking bays, a central parking area and a number of garages.

Across the road from St Johns Park is the famous public house "The Trout Inn" which is situated right alongside the river Thames, a popular place to watch the canal boats and
riverboats passing by.
