Oak Hill Park

3201 Rhode Island Avenue South

Oak Hill Park is located on the west side of St. Louis Park. Oak Hill is one of the most popular places to be in the summer because of the many activities and facilities to use. The park offers softball diamonds, basketball courts, trails, and tennis courts for those who want to be active. In the winter months, you can find a large sliding area and lighted skating rink for public use.

Oak Hill is also a great place to relax and have a picnic with the many tables and shelters located throughout the park. A playground provides great entertainment for both young and old.

Oak Hill Park also features a water playground that lets tots activate bubbling hoses, water nozzles and sprinkler arches. Just wave your hand over the sensor bollard and get ready to splash in the sun! It’s the equivalent of running through the sprinkler on a grand scale. This facility is unsupervised so parents should accompany children. Rubber soled water shoes are strongly recommended for all participants. Restrooms will be available in the Oak Hill Park Pavilion during Splash Pad operating hours June 1 through Aug. 31. Outdoor portable toilets will be available before May 31 and after Sept. 1.
