City Park
| City Park stands at the southern edge of Oelwein in a wooded area that surrounds Lake Oelwein. It's a perfect setting for a picnic, volleyball, camping, hiking, or spending a quiet summer day reading a good book. The younger set is drawn to the playground equipment for fun-filled summer days. |
Lake Oelwein

Lake Oelwein is a small, no-wake lake that provides a relaxed setting for camping , picnics, and hiking. If you like living outdoors in the summer, you'll find space in City Park on the shores of Lake Oelwein for your tent or camper.

The roads are also used for hiking by local fitness enthusiasts who enjoy a hike while enjoying a cool breeze from the lake.
