Oakland Park is a city on the move. Tucked between Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach, and starting just one mile from the beach, but reaching west to the I-75 Florida Turnpike. Fresh outlooks in the city staff and commission have paved the way for a downtown corridor to emerge with fresh and popular retailers, restaurants, bars and breweries. Oakland Park has shown their support for new business and development in the city by hiring new zoning staff to work closely with developers, and economic development staff to interact directly with businesses. As a result, in the last few years, there have been dozens of new yoga studios, coffee shops, bars, restaurants, fitness studios and grocery stores relocating from neighborhoods like Flagler Village and Wilton Manors to Oakland Park.
