Homes of Oak Park In 1996, the Metrontario Group proudly unveiled Oak Park, a master planned community that was among the first to introduce the principle of "new urbanism to Ontario". It will ultimately house 10,000 people in addition to producing over 9 million square feet of retail space and several office buildings, as well as 35 acres of parkland.. Neighbourly and convenient - the hallmarks of the shopping experience at Oak Park. With boutiques, bistros and sidewalk cafes planned, Oak Park's main street and central town square will be a great place to browse, shop or just get together with friends. And the shopping district of Oak Park has more, including an existing department store. All part of your neighbourhood.
