A laid-back suburban neighborhood featuring apartment complexes and spacious houses, Oak Park sits just over six miles northeast of downtown San Diego. The locals in this area like to spend time outdoors and watch the ducks at Chollas Lake Park. For everyday errands and other shopping trips, check out the Grove Shopping Center or the Metropolitan Shopping Center.
Oak Park's dining scene includes authentic cuisine from many cultures, with Tuk Tuk Thai Restaurant popular for its excellent Thai food and down-to-Earth style. Residents usually head to the surrounding neighborhoods for nightlife activities, which doesn't take long thanks to the area's close proximity to California Route 94 and Interstate 805. If you want to stay local, catch a show at the Community Actor's Theatre, which features plays of every genre.
