Located in the neighborhood of Bayside sits the 46-acre Oakland Lake Wildflower Meadow Park, a wondrous lush paradise of greenery, ravines and side slopes. Plentiful bird species thrive in this perfectly preserved wildlife habitat, perched on oak trees, nesting and filling the park with their beautiful melodies. The park provides spacious walk trails, ample stairways, breathtaking (20-foot deep) lake views, complete with fishing pads and canoe/kayak launches. Open Monday through Sunday from 6AM to 9PM, it’s a destination spot for those looking to connect with nature, dog walk, take a romantic stroll or pursue non-motorized water sports.
