OXFORD PARK COMMISSION
OXFORD PARK COMMISSION
Your tax dollars help support the Oxford Park Commission, so it’s worthwhile to find out about the many offerings this agency provides. Key facilities include the city pool on Washington Avenue, open daily during the summer months, and Avent Park on Park Drive, with its community-built playground. OPC also offers something for those young at heart with Leisure Lifestyles, a program with several activities to keep mature adults 40 and up active throughout the year. In addition to public outdoor parks, the Oxford Activity Center, located on the corner of Price Street and Molly Barr Road, features two indoor basketball courts, a gymnastics room, multipurpose rooms and a racquetball court. The OPC’s well-maintained website will keep you up to date on athletic leagues, classes and even game cancellations due to weather. Check out www.oxfordparkcommission.com.
