Oakes Park, Grade II listed park and garden in Norton, Sheffield, England.

The estate spans across extensive parkland with a Georgian manor house, including 15 private residences and established gardens surrounding the main building.

The original property dates back to 1590 when John Parker owned it, with the current house constructed in 1668 by John Lee for his bride Barbara.

The Oakes Holiday Centre operates within the historic manor house, providing residential programs and outdoor activities for children aged 8 to 18.

Located on Norton Lane, the park features walking paths, landscaped areas, and multiple Grade II listed structures that require regular maintenance and preservation.

The estate's development involved Napoleonic War prisoners who contributed to large-scale modifications of the parkland during the Bagshawe family ownership.
