Spend a day at Oakboro District Park, featuring a one-mile walking trail, playground equipment, picnic shelters, a disc golf course, ballfields, and more. Stroll through our charming downtown during the monthly Cruise-In and enjoy classic cars lining Main Street, or explore history at the Oakboro Regional Museum of History and our Railroad Museum and replica train depot.
Situated in western Stanly County, Oakboro is conveniently close to Charlotte, Monroe, and Concord, making it an ideal place to live.
