Oakland town officials say a park that opened over the summer and another one planned for next year are part of an effort to increase recreational opportunities and improve the quality of life for Oakland residents. Oakland Overlook Park, which spans more than two acres and opened earlier at 8 Smithfield Road, a hilltop near the center of town, provides covered picnic areas, colorful Adirondack chairs and a view of the western Maine mountains.
