Oakwood Park Lorain Parks and Recreation

The park is overall average alright. It’s served many well purposes. I have given the park three stars regarding the new addition of the pool. It’s great when under capacity and I noticed so many disregarded events that occurred at capacity Memorial Day Holiday. There wasn’t a lot of supervision or guardians making sure their children had life vests. Many rules were over looked and not reinforced by the lifeguards. As a parent in the pool with my children I witnessed so much horse playing . To where children were doing so much that pulling each other down under water and choking. I brought these matters to the lifeguards but didn’t take these matters seriously. I don’t think they were able to handle a pool at capacity there was so much unforeseen. One of the events almost costed my teenager his life. Due to an unsupervised younger child who should have had a life vest on. Pulling on my son and drawing him under water panicking because he was afraid . This could’ve ended badly thank God he was alright. Shaken up but alright. At capacity the guards need to reinforce rules to all parties and guardians to have their children wearing appropriate attire if they can’t swim.

Second time at the pool, lifeguards seem more interested in their phones or flirting with girls.. who pretend to drown to pull them from their post and throw them a float.. glad to have a pool in the neighborhood but with the price for admission and the way the lifeguards act I don't think we'll be returning. Only on young lady lifeguard was taking things seriously. Probably frustrating for her but glad she takes her duties seriously, the other guys need talked to.

Oakwood pool information: cash only, $4 per person babies 2 and under are free, Pool capacity is 75 people. Swimming or not, all attendees must pay the $4 admission fee to enter to swim or supervise. Doors are closed an hour early before closethis can change due to staffing or anything else like weather concerns or anything of that nature

A neighborhood staple. Happy to see its revival taking place. So many families have wonderful memories in this park. A great place for a walk, a run, some basketball, or to catch a softball game.

The park is nice and quiet, depending on when you go. Playground: There is somewhat of a playground area for kids. Dog-friendliness: You can walk through with your dog. Picnic area: You can have a picnic and or grill.

I have lived in South Lorain since 1971! I am Blessed and same house 46 years!

Very spacious park, has plenty of room to walk around and has a swimming pool too. We have family pictures by the egg basket every Easter.

A very nice looking park. But I had came for disc golf and when we showed the baskets we’re all taken down and are only poles. Anyone know anything about why the holes are removed??

Beautiful place. Have an area for kids

It's a nice place on a beautiful day just be careful it is oakwood Park in Lorain must I say more
