An image search on keword "Oaklandon" has yielded a bunch more images of the wooden play area that (beyond pictures) exists only as fond memories in the minds of those park-goers fortunate enough to have visited this unique creation. I would surely like to learn who was actually behind designing and building this work of art. I feel a research project coming on...

Oaklandon Play Park is located near Oaklandon Road and 65th Street. Oaklandon's unique feature is that it is a wooden playground. It is nicely shaded and has many places to sit while children play. It also features a gazebo. The playground sits near some railroad tracks . . . if you're lucky a train will go by and the kids will love it! Though it is an older playground, it is well-maintained and kids will appreciate its uniqueness.

2. Oaklandon Play Park (11828 E. 65th Street, Indianapolis)
The one and only wooden playground we’ve found in Indianapolis (if there are others let me know!). This just goes to show that a playground doesn’t have to be all new and shiny to be awesome. Both Eli and Elena loved this one, and it’s not easy to get them to agree on what makes a great playground. There are tons of nooks, crannies and tunnels, making it a perfect place for a good game of hide-and-seek. Eli loved that there were monkey bars and rings that he could actually reach without help. An added bonus? The park sits next to train tracks that see a good amount of traffic. If you’re lucky, one will go by while you’re there and your little train-lover will declare it the Best Playground Ever.
