Oakland residents are justifiably proud of their community which provides excellent athletic and social programs for both adults and children, as they enjoy some of the finest and most extensive facilities in the area. There are nine tennis courts, ten baseball fields, a football field, plus several soccer fields. There is a Senior Center in town which provides those 55 and older with services and activities promoting well-being and community involvement.

Superior education benefits are afforded by 3 elementary schools, a middle school, and Indian Hills Regional High School. Several pre-schools as well as parochial schools are located in town.

The Ramapo Mountains with its rolling terrain set the scene for the town of Oakland. Route 202 (AKA Ramapo Valley Road), which is one of the country's first trading routes used by Native Americans, runs along the Ramapo River, where historic homes and horse farms dot the roadside.

The center of town has a shopping area and easy access to Routes 208 & 287. Access to Route 287, Route 17, Route 202, and the NY Thruway as well as bus routes allow convenient commutation to New York City.
