context_page_description: Newbury Road is the main street in Newbury Park, California, and runs parallel to the U.S. Route 101. The road is named for the town’s founder, Egbert Starr Newbury. The historic Newbury Park Post Office has had several locations on Newbury Road, including at the Stagecoach Plaza, a shopping complex with a name that implies the stagecoach heritage of the area. Stagecoach Plaza houses 14 restaurants and shops, and it is adjacent to additional shops on both sides.
  The road stretches from Newbury Gateway Park in the west to Walnut Grove Park in the east. Newbury Gateway Park is a seven-acre park at the base of a hill which is most notable for is native flora, including an oak grove with over a hundred oak trees. Two large oak trees stand near its entry. Newbury Park Library and the adjacent Thousand Oaks Community Gallery are located just across Borchard Road from the park, immediately west of Newbury Road.
  On its opposite end, Walnut Grove Park is located at the intersection of Newbury- and Windtree Avenue. Named for its many walnut trees, the six-acre park was developed in 1994.
