Dubbed a “City on the Move,” Oakland Park, Florida is an excellent choice for a hometown because of its dedication to both public service and community. This is a perfect suburb for families looking for excellent schools and robust public libraries. Approximately 43,000 residents have chosen Oakland Park Real Estate, and the tourism industry continues to grow through the art scene and unique small businesses.

Faced with early hardships in its founding, Oakland Park has come a long way from its population that consisted mostly of area farmers in the 1920s. A perfect hub for history buffs, the Oakland Park Historical Society’s House and Museum contains preservations of the early town heritage. Many of Oakland Park’s buildings — including Oakland Park Elementary School, built in 1925 — are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Oakland Park Department of Parks and Leisure Services enjoys an exciting partnership with Americas Got Soccer, and Oakland Park houses the largest indoor soccer facility featuring three turf fields. Residents of Oakland Park have access to a variety of indoor soccer programs at a reduced rate. If participating in soccer is not on the agenda, visitors can enjoy homemade frozen yogurt at the Pumas Sports Bar while watching their favorite team on high definition screens.

Each week, the Oakland Park City staff publishes the “Oakleaf,” which includes upcoming events, activities, updates on new construction, and much more information for its residents and tourists.
