Right in the center of South Florida, Oakland Park in Broward County has been always a refugee for those seeking for the old town Florida charm. But in the last years the city has moved forward to take advantage of its heritage and its location 30 miles away from Miami and 4 miles from Fort Lauderdale, and the positive results of its efforts are already being enjoyed by its residents.
Since 2011, a Culinary Arts District was developed in the Downtown, and it is now a magnet for tourists and residents alike. It is known as "The Tasteful Destination" and foodies can get nirvana experiences in places like Alberte´s Restaurant with classic island flavors or combine the ultimate fun trying new beers at Funky Budda Brewery. The culinary experience goes further with a variety of retail shops offering culinary accessories and ideas combined with a variety of services and stores. For a family experience, "The Urban Farming Institute" offers skill-building programs for children and youth where they can start learning about growing and cooking. The city also promotes culture through a variety of events like "Music on the Street" held every fourth Friday of the Month in the City Hall.
The city is an important shopping destination too with several malls located in the area. There are big options like "Lakes Mall" which was recently revamped or community centers like "Northridge Shopping Center". If you like bargains, "Oakland Park Flea Market" is the best! For those hunting antiques, "The Hillsboro Antique Mall" in Pompano Beach just 5 minutes distance is the best option.
The city prides itself of its natural environment and participates with "Garden for Wildlife" foundation to protect and save species in danger and become part of the National Wildlife Federation. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy being surrounded by some of the best beaches in Fort Lauderdale and private and public golf courses like Coral Ridge Country Club in the neighbor Fort Lauderdale and Palm Aire Country Club in Pompano Beach.
