“Oakwood is a classic neighborhood park located in Venice, Ca. You won’t find any canals or gondoliers here but you will find a recreation center with a hardwood basketball court, a children’s playground, a baseball diamond and even a victory garden. All of these features are cooled by a Pacific Ocean breeze.”
