Oakdale is small, but mighty
Within the tranquil expanse of Allegheny County lies Oakdale, a rural borough with an intimate population of around 1,500 residents. Steeped in history, this hamlet was established in the late 1800s. Oakdale has endured many plights, having weathered the devastating impact of Hurricane Ivan, a category 5 storm that caused flooding, leading to the closure of many businesses. Yet, against all odds, this 0.5-square-mile community endured and thrived.

Community events range from garage sales to Easter bunny breakfasts
Situated 13 miles west of Pittsburgh along I-376 and a convenient 20-minute drive from the airport, Oakdale offers a break from the urban bustle. Oakdale beats with a strong sense of community. The monthly Oakdale Times newsletter keeps residents updated on the latest developments. From the spirited Fourth of July Parade, replete with raffles, food, and a bike decorating contest, to neighborhood clean-up events focused on preserving the creek-prone area, the community comes together to beautify their borough. An annual community yard sale offers neighbors a chance to share their treasures, while the community center hosts a delightful Breakfast with the Easter Bunny event, drawing families closer. “I am a long-time resident of Allegheny County and have served as a volunteer in various organizations for the last 30 years,” says Linda Diffendal, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty, “Oakdale is the place to be if you want to have quiet and a close community surrounded by nature and shopping, while still being able to head to the city whenever you want.”
Playgrounds, an ice rink and trails are in Oakdale
Oakdale’s recreational spaces further enhance its allure. The Oakdale Borough Community Park offers a haven for families, complete with a small playscape for kids and a ball field for friendly games. Preservation Park South Fayette, on the other hand, is a favored spot for early morning jogs and dog walks centered around its expansive soccer field. Meanwhile, Collier Community Park, located on Lobaugh Drive, caters to sporty residents with tennis and basketball courts, as well as an ice hockey rink for those seeking winter fun. Oakdale affords access to the Panhandle Trail, a scenic pathway that weaves through the heart of the borough. Once a vital railway connecting Pittsburgh to Cincinnati, this historic trail played a pivotal role in industrial growth before ceasing operation in the mid-20th century. In 1986, it was reborn as a 29-mile recreational trail where residents come for a stroll or bike ride.
