Families come in all shapes and sizes.  At Oaklake Trails, we encourage the participation of all families.  To demonstrate our commitment to families at Oaklake, we are introducing two FREE Family Day* events in 2023.  We'd love for you to join us on April 29th and September 16th.  Parents, guardians and caregivers are encouraged to participate in activities with their kids.  Several projects/activities will require adult assistance and/or supervision.    

 

*Family must include at least one child under the age of 16 to gain FREE admission.  If you are not the custodial parent of the child, you must complete the Release Form for Minors.
