Oakwood Community Center
The Oakwood Community Center, located at 105 Patterson Road, houses the department of Leisure Services, and is the home of Gardner Pool. This pool was a gift to Oakwood citizens and provides relaxation from Memorial Day to Labor Day for resident members only.
Membership in the community center allows residents to participate for reduced fees in activities. The first floor includes a “great room” which is scheduled for everything from step aerobics and ballet classes to private weddings and class reunions. A full service kitchen and smaller meeting rooms are also available. Oakwood residents and members receive a rental discount to use this facility.
The lower level of the community center houses the Teen Center and the Health Center and is able to be rented for birthday parties or meetings. Residents sixteen and over with a health center membership may enjoy Nautilus, Universal and free weight equipment in the Health Center, which also features a stair climber, rowing machine and stationary bicycle. Indoor Cycling class is also held in the Teen Center twice a week.
The Community Center hosts a full range of athletic activities including volleyball, tennis, spring and fall soccer, swim team and swimming. A variety of art, drama, dance, martial arts and fencing classes are offered for all ages. Walking and jogging are probably the city’s most popular leisure activities. Route maps and safety guidelines are available at the community center.
