Toddler Activities in Oakland Park, Florida
Oakland Park sits between Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors, and City Centennial Park is the hot-day stop: an accessible playground, family restrooms, and the city's first splash pad on NE 3rd Avenue. Greenleaf Park, opened in August 2026 on Park Lane East, is the newer shaded playground downtown. Easterlin and Royal Palm still cover a short neighborhood loop. Fort Lauderdale indoor play is the storm backup. This page is Oakland Park.
