Oak Park Heights is situated on 3.03 square miles bordering the St. Croix River, Stillwater, and Lake Elmo. With five area parks and many trails, residents enjoy many local recreational opportunities. Some of the most popular parks in the area include:

Brekke Park: Brekke Park is home to a large covered shelter building with restrooms, making it perfect for any event. Children enjoy the play equipment and baseball diamonds. Several barbeques are situated in the park, which are perfect for a casual day in the park. In the winter months, residents take advantage of an ice skating rink with a staffed warming house. The park is also newly home to a disc golf course. This course is perfect for both new learners and experienced disc-golfers.
