Oakgrove, Milton Keynes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oakgrove is a district of Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, England, in the civil parish of Broughton and Milton Keynes.[1] The district includes a small retail centre consisting of a Waitrose Supermarket, a Metro Bank branch, and other small services units. A large portion of the district is reserved as linear park to accommodate the flood plain of the river Ouzel, a tributary of the river Great Ouse.
Oakgrove is bounded by the grid roads Brickhill St (V10) to the east, Chaffron Way (H7) to the south, and by the Ouzel to the west and north. Oakgrove is a small district because it is nominally in the same grid square as the Woolstones (to its west) but is separated from them by the wide flood plain of the Ouzel, which is a linear park in normal times.[2] To its east lies Middleton and to its south lies Monkston Park. The city centre, Central Milton Keynes, is located 2 miles (3.2 km) to the north-west of the district, whilst the Kingston District Centre is located 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the south-east.
The district is a relatively small one since it takes up just the eastern part of its grid square, which it shares with Woolstone (separated by the Ouzel valley) and Springfield (by the Grand Union Canal).
