Oakdale prepares parks and announces summer community events
The Oakdale City Council met Monday to highlight spring preparations across city services, including newly refreshed park facilities and upcoming opportunities for residents to rent picnic shelters and attend community events.
As warmer weather arrives, the city's Public Works team has completed preparations for drinking fountains and restroom facilities across Oakdale's parks and scenic trails. These amenities are now ready for residents and visitors to use as they enjoy outdoor recreation this season.
The council also announced that picnic shelter rentals are available for the 2025 season. Residents can book shelters online through the city website, with discounted rates offered to Oakdale residents compared to non-resident pricing.
The Oakdale Fire Department is promoting its free community services, which include fire station tours and birthday party visits for children. The department handles requests on a first-come, first-serve basis and requires at least 14 days' advance notice for any requests.
Looking ahead, the Maplewood Oakdale Lions Club is organizing a city-wide garage sale event scheduled for Thursday, May 1 through Saturday, May 3. More information and a list of participating sales locations are available through the city.
