Awesome park with lots of little private areas to the beach. The earth clock is pretty cool, and seems accurate! The treehouse is nice and has a good view. The main beach area is pretty big, and its fairly clean. Theres another area way off to the side that is rockier, but appealing. Popular park. There is a lot to do here!

Nice to walk around. Great views on the beach. Just that one corner of the beach smells pretty bad due to stagnant water.

Lots of playground equipment, clean bathrooms, tennis courts and bocce ball courts. Cute beach...gets closed a bit due to blue-green algae blooms.

Awesome place to hang out. Definitely rocky, but if you come prepared with good shoes you can wear in the water, then its a blast. Plenty of room to physically distance yourself from others.

I love this place. It has so much to offer and so much open space. The Blanchard beach is my favorite beach in Burly.

Oakledge Park is the ultimate getaway, especially in the summertime. There are plenty of things to do in the park, like play on the swings, use the tennis or shuffle ball courts, or relax by the water along the rocky cliffs and take a quick dip. The summer sunsets here are perfect and the cooking/eating areas are well-kept. The perfect spot for anyone visiting Burlington!

I absolutely love this park. There is plenty of parking. Volleyball and tennis courts, easy access pavilions with bathrooms in the summer. A few grills to cook on, with plenty of beach space. It is one of the best sunset parks in the area. Not as busy and crazy as waterfront park while still having similar amenities. The only feedback I have is that I wish they cleared/plowed the bike path that goes through it during the winter time. If its winter, walk at your own risk the path gets incredibly icy.

I absolutely love Oakledge Park. The beach is great, and clean most of the time anyway. There is always that one person who likes to ruin everything for everyone. But this place has tennis court, beaches, picnic tables, grills. It has pavilions to get out of the weather, and a huge awesome tree house. Playgrounds for the children and bathrooms. Great place for day trips

Super chill park with an Earth clock, small beach, enchanted tree house and many lookouts to have a relaxing day on Lake Champlain. Parking is by the hour and done via kiosks. A bike trail runs through the park, granting access to Burlington and beyond with amazing lake vistas.

One of my favorite parks. The Earth Clock has special meaning to my husband and I. We were engaged here. There is a small beach and trails around the area, and its along the Burlington Bike.

Review №53

Such a beautiful park, so many hidden and tucked away spots in the trees, to enjoy the beauty of lake Champlain. I like people alright, but sometimes a peaceful moment alone is good for the soul. Visit early morning to early afternoon, or late night. This special place can get quite bustling at times.

Review №54

Its a nice park. Lots to do. They have a treehouse thats worth checking out. They have tennis courts, beaches, bike paths, places to BBQ, they have a pavilion with a decent amount of tables. Its a good place for summer parties, birthdays, company events. They have lots of parking as well.

Wow, what a great park. An older style playground that is still fun, with a new accessible playground being built. Has a great bike trail, ledges for sunbathing, a beach, fields and courts, and a tree house? Kids loved it.

Rented the lower pavilion for a party. Weather was great and so was the scenery. People letting dogs run off leash were a bit of a problem. Parking is tight on a nice weekend day. Come early to get a good spot.

It looked like a nice trail, but there really wasnt much to the park. A swingset and a pavilion were there I think...

Review №61

I love y’all ur little park, beach, and slice of lakefront heaven but parking is atrocious very limited and haphazard. There is plenty of space to expand parking especially for families closer to the restrooms and beach. There’s also only two handicap spots on that whole area which is not acceptable for people that need it. It’s very nicely kept up and clean we love visiting when parking allows it!

Great park off the beaten path with a lakeside trail and a playground to accommodate people with disabilities. There is parking and a pavilion. Both kids and adults can enjoy the open field, tennis courts, and pavilion with picnic tables. The place is set up for group activities. Joggers and cyclists frequent the trail from downtown Burlington to beyond the park.The park is good all day, but bring a camera for the awesome sunsets over Lake Champlain.Look for the worlds tallest filing cabinet and proceed under the underpass and straight to the park.

Great park with a lot of reasons to visit. I remember Oakledge fondly from my childhood, swimming at the beaches and climbing on the rocky trail. Now its made even better with the addition of the tree house and the historical markers adding some depth and history!

A lovely place to enjoy nature. A large green space full of amenities such as water fountains, bathrooms, grills, and covered spaces in which to gather. There are trails into the woods and roads to the beach. Overall a great place for anyone of any age, dont miss seeing the treehouse!

Whales are amazing. The boat does spwed towards the whales and it apoeara to bither them somewhat. Im not sure this constant and direct attention doesnt interruot their feeding. Perhaps if the boats werent on such tight schedules it might be more respectful.
