WATERPARK & GREENWAYS

Water is a defining feature of Northstowe.

Within the town there is a 135 hectare water park, whilst two greenways provide a sustainable urban drainage system and a unique ecological, leisure and landscape resource. Other ponds are uniquely designed to mitigate flooding in the existing villages of Longstanton and Oakington

Taken together with other areas of open space, approximately one third of Nor thstowe will be open space As a result, residents will have double the amount of open space per person compared to the average in UK cities and double the amount of informal open space compared to Cambridge, St Neots or Ely
