Oakledge Park, Waterfront park in Burlington, United States
Located on Lake Champlain, Oakledge Park extends over 2400 feet of shoreline with two distinct beach areas named Blanchard Beach and the Cove.
The development of Burlington's waterfront included the establishment of Oakledge Park, which evolved into a central recreational space for the local community.
The park features regular community events throughout the year, from music performances to seasonal celebrations that bring residents together for outdoor activities.
Two rentable shelters accommodate groups of up to 80 people, equipped with tables, grills, electricity, and restrooms from mid-May through mid-September.
The park contains the first accessible treehouse in the world, built around a white oak tree at a height of 15 feet.

Vermont contains remote locations of historical importance that often lie away from major routes. The region encompasses active and abandoned granite quarries, one-room schoolhouses dating from the 19th century, wooden covered bridges, and waterfalls flowing through forested gorges. Trails cross the Green Mountains, leading to mountain lakes, abandoned settlements, and farms that have operated for generations. Historic sites include President Calvin Coolidge's birthplace in Plymouth Notch, preserved as a museum village, and Naulakha, Rudyard Kipling's former residence in Dummerston. Several state parks provide views over the Champlain Valley and Lake Champlain. The marble exhibits in Proctor document the region's quarrying history. These locations offer insight into Vermont's industrial past, literary heritage, and rural traditions.
