Check out our new steps for the slide at the pool!

 For Arbor Day, April 26, 2024, the City of Oxford hosted the 6th grade class for tree planting and pizza! The kids helped plant 2 new trees on the south loop of Napawalla Park.  They learned the proper way to plant a tree and then got to have Casey's Pizza for lunch! Thank you to everyone that helped make Arbor Day a success.

🚧 Project Update 🚧

We wanted to share a quick update on our progress. Unfortunately, the installation crew encountered an emergency 🚑 that temporarily pulled them away from our site. However, we’ve been assured they’ll return on Monday 🛠️ in full force.

The plan is to complete the main structure 🏗️ and begin installing the border and mulch 🌿. For those curious, the mulch is currently wrapped up on pallets down at the park 🎁🏞️—ready to go!

Thank you for your continued patience and support! 🙏💚

We’re thrilled to give you a first peek at our brand-new playground equipment — and trust us, it’s going to be AMAZING! 🚀 The installation is already underway, and we can’t wait for you to experience all the fun.

🛠️ But hold tight! While we know it’s tempting, we kindly ask everyone to wait just a little longer before climbing, sliding, or swinging. Safety is our top priority, and we want everything to be perfect before the big debut!

⏳ The good news? It’s only a few more days! If all goes smoothly, we hope it will be ready to play on by this weekend! 🎈

🎉 And guess what? We’re throwing a community celebration to mark this awesome milestone! Join us on Saturday, May 31st from 11 AM to 2 PM for a day of fun, laughter, and play. 🥳

📅 Mark your calendars — it’s going to be unforgettable!

🎉 Exciting News, Oxford! 🎉

Our brand new playground equipment is currently hanging out in a warehouse in Houston, TX 🏗️—but not for long! It’s scheduled to arrive in Oxford on May 12th 🚚 and the installation will kick off that same morning at Napawalla Park!

👷‍♂️ The install crew will be there bright and early to meet the delivery truck, unload all the awesome new pieces, mark the layout on the ground, and start building our fantastic new playground! 🛝✨

The whole process should take about a week (🤞as long as the weather cooperates!), so we kindly ask everyone to be extra mindful of the crew while they work hard to bring this project to life. They’ve got a big job and a short window to make the magic happen! 💪🌤️

And guess what... we're throwing a BIG party at the end of the month to celebrate! 🎈🎊 You won’t want to miss it—so stay tuned for more details coming soon! 📣

🌳🌟 Tree-mendous Day at Cave Park! 🌟🌳

Today, Mrs. Donley’s amazing 6th grade class teamed up with the 🌆 City of Oxford to plant FOUR brand-new redbud trees at beautiful Cave Park! 💪🌸

🌱 2 trees found their new home on the North side, and 2 more settled in on the South side—talk about balanced beauty! 🧭✨

The students got their hands dirty and their minds growing as they learned all about 🌳 tree planting 101:
📏 how deep to dig,
🌿 what a berm is,
🌰 and why mulch is a must-have finishing touch!

And to top it all off… the day ended with a pizza party 🍕🎈 and a class photo on the backhoe 🚜📸—because every great tree-planting crew deserves a legendary finish!

This awesome event celebrated not just Arbor Day 🎉 but also the City of Oxford’s proud tradition as a 🌲 Tree City USA! Let’s keep planting, learning, and growing together! 💚🌎

Thank you to Mrs. Donley, all the 6th graders, and the City Utility Crew for making this happen!!

City Crew cleaning up newest round of snow!!

Oxford Elementary students made a spook-tacular visit to the City Office and Oxford Library, dressed head-to-toe in their Halloween costumes for a treat! From superheroes to spooky characters, the turnout was fantastic, with plenty of creativity and Halloween spirit on display! 🎃👻
