On Tuesday, Nov. 3, the Oakdale Children’s Play Park re-opened with a ribbon cutting and new name: The Alex and Emma Play Park. On behalf of the children of Oakdale, the City of Oakdale officials extended its appreciation to the residents, businesses and service organizations for their monetary and in-kind donations as well as the hundreds of hours of volunteer time and talent that each provided to this once-again beautiful play area. With welcome and introductions by Mayor Pat Paul and City Manager Bryan Whitemyer, the ribbon was cut and dozens of children broke through paper chains to play on new slides, swings, bridges and other play structures.
