Oakdale Park

Andy Meyer

The playground at Oakdale Park is a gem and shows how the combination of equipment, amenities, and nature can create a great playground experience. The playground equipment is solid but not vastly different from other playgrounds; there is a moderate play structure with slides and climbing elements, a smaller 'play dinosaur' designed for younger children, and a set of swings (toddler and belt seat). There is a small water spray feature a little ways away as well. The non-playable amenities are also solid: there are ample benches and the play surface is soft rubber. Perhaps the best feature is that the playground is surrounded - and shaded!- by large, mature trees. I might be bias in favor of trees and shade, but this site is a reminder that getting the basics right - equipment, amenities, and surroundings - can create a wonderful playground; highly recommend.
