The middle part of Goldfield is a large triangular area where nature is taking over much loved by dog walkers. It was the former playing fields of Osmington School and is designated as a public open area. When the school closed in about the 1970s the school site was developed for housing, but planning permission has never been given for this area. The original boundary fence became broken down and was removed for safety reasons, and young trees are beginning to grow in places round the edges. See view in the other direction taken in 2018 Image shortly after planning permission was given for two houses in this area. The houses in the distance are the former council houses in Goldfield Road and mainly Victorian houses in the "Tring Triangle". Beyond the houses lies the Chiltern escarpment.
