The new recreation space will be located along Dark Hollow Road.
A future recreation space along Dark Hollow Road soon will have a designated name. On Monday, Oakmont Council is expected to approve the name Creekside Park for the new area.

The developer is responsible for creating the recreation space because its Edgewater at Oakmont housing plan doesn't contain recreation space, per zoning regulations. Oakmont Recreation Board member Tom Bland said members liked the Creekside Park name because it goes hand-in-hand with Riverside Park, the main park in the borough. Another option was Creekside Sports Park, but the rec board and council favored the first option. Creekside Park is expected to have a gravel parking lot, …

Officials discussed Riverside Park hours, parking on the boulevard and more last week.
Here's a look at items discussed at Oakmont Council's workshop meeting last week. The regular voting meeting will be held tonight, Dec. 10, at 7 p.m. at the borough building.
