Oakes Park
952-939-8203
Close to busy Blake Road but secluded enough for a respite from the noise, Oakes is an urban park with amenities for nearby families. It is easily recognizable by a central mound that serves as an excellent sledding hill. Paths that connect to city sidewalks wind their way around the park. A softball field, a skating rink and tennis courts offer further options, while children can play on a modern playground.
