Where is/was it?
Oxo park is a little park surrounded by the terraced houses on Stalmine, Firdale and Willowdale Roads. Got it's knickname due to the shape of the lawns, not sure if it has a formal name. Used to be lovely years ago with flower beds, lawns, shrubbery and benches but is a shadow of it's former self now with broken railings, burnt grass, graffiti etc etc.

Similar park is Devonfield Gardens in Orrell Park which is still kept nice.
