A Maze

About The Maze

880 plants and 1km of Pathway to the Centre

“A Maze” is a really popular addition to the park and offers hours of endless fun. The maze was designed by Jennifer Fisher and set out and planted by our team of gardeners at Oakfield Park.

The maze a must do family activity in Donegal suitable  for both children and adults alike, working you way into the centre toward the imposing 10-metre-tall brick tower – then spend the afternoon trying to work your way out again! If you get stuck just look up the free Oakfield Park app where you can use the map to guide you out.

Other Structured Planting 

Not to be confused with the maze!

There are other features that have often been confused with the maze. In the lower gardens around the Longsleeper sculpture, is the Spiral Mound. Planted in very fragile buxus, follow the spiral round and round to reach the Centrepoint. In the upper gardens next to the house is the parterre, again formed with Buxus sempervirens, this is an ornamental feature with gaps between the manicured shapes which cannot be walked through.
