Oakleigh Park is a name invented by a Victorian development company for this area to the east of Whetstone. It has survived largely because the Great Northern Railway used the name for its local station (rather than plain 'Whetstone' as originally intended). The houses here where Oakleigh Avenue meets Oakleigh Park South by a small triangular green are large detached properties.
