About

Oakdale ward lies in the northeastern part of the Poole urban area, primarily characterised by residential housing from the mid-20th century. The area is centred around Oakdale Library and the local playing fields, which serve as a community hub. Housing consists largely of semi-detached and terraced homes, with several local parades of shops providing essential services. The ward is bordered by the A349 to the west, which connects it to the wider conurbation.

A network of small greens and pedestrian pathways threads through the estates, including the route along Lulworth Avenue. The ward contains Oakdale Infant School and several churches, reflecting its established neighbourhood function. Canford Heath, one of the largest expanses of lowland heath in the UK, lies directly to the east, influencing the area's natural boundary. This heathland provides a distinct contrast to the built environment just a short walk away.
