Who We Are : Our Community

Oak Park

The community of Oak Park, home to 13,847 residents, is bounded on the north by Streamview Avenue, on the south by Interstate 94, on the east by Federal Boulevard, and to the west by Euclid Avenue. In the early 1940's - in response to a growing need for military housing - the federal government began developing housing units throughout southeastern San Diego. Oak Park continues to serve the military population with a multi-family housing complex located near Chollas Lake Park, one of the community's most frequently visited recreational sites.

Landmarks/Points of Interests

"We have the only lake in the community! Not many people know that Oak Park was home to was one of the first military sonar stations in San Diego. Today, Chollas Lake is a beautiful recreation area with basketball courts, trails, baseball fields, barbeques, and even fishing”.
