Additional Information
In March 2024 Oakley Park hosted a community Easter Egg Hunt with close to 300 people in attendance. We love supporting our community. Edgefield churches, small businesses and local government all came together to provide a free event for local families. A good day was enjoyed by all in attendance.
REASEARCH LIBRARY: In Fall 2022 we had a generous donation of 320 books on Confederate history, enabling us to establish a research library. Please consider donating books to our library. In 2023 we have received an additional 60 books. Please help us with this research collection by considering donating a bookcase or funds towards this collection.
