It is home to Oakwood Clock, a large clock that was built in 1904 by Potts of Leeds to the design of Leeming and Leeming and is sited at the bottom end of Roundhay Park; it was first designed as the centrepiece of Kirkgate Market, Leeds.
After the design of Kirkgate Market was revised it was considered that this clock would no longer be suitable for the building, and the idea to place it in Oakwood came about.
Eight years after it was first built this clock was erected in Oakwood.
In early 2015, the tower was replaced, with the original clock being kept.

Opposite the Clock on Roundhay Road is the Fish Bar, a Grade II Listed Building with an Art Deco frontage of black glass panels, which has been selling fish and chips since 1934.

It was in the garden of Oakwood Grange that Louis Le Prince filmed the Roundhay Garden Scene in 1888, credited as the first motion picture.

Oakwood Grange was demolished in 1972 to make way for Oakwood Grange housing estate but the adjacent stately home, Oakwood Hall, still remains as a nursing home.
