What is Oak Park?

Oak Park Retreat Center is an 11-acre property located at the corner of Kirk Avenue and Lovers Lane in Perkins, Oklahoma. It is owned by Lost Creek, but we consider it more than just a property of the church. It is one of our ministries and missions – it is us extending our open arms and hearts into the community by providing Christian hospitality to those who step foot on the grounds. Oak Park is a way for people to be united in fellowship while enjoying the serene space and the uplifting outdoors.

Oak Park has three main buildings: Wayman Lodge, Dickerson Conference Center, and The Cottage. Wayman Lodge has 20 sleeping rooms, a multi-purpose room with a 225-person capacity, a large meeting room, Wi-Fi access, and an industrial kitchen. Dickerson Conference Center has a large, 300-person capacity, lighting and sound systems, and a catering/serving kitchen. The Cottage is a small house with beds, a kitchen, and a bathroom. All can be rented together or separately. Outdoors, Oak Park has a large playground for the kids, an outdoor grill, picnic tables, and a basketball court. Recently, Oak Park partnered with the City of Perkins to install an 18-hole disc golf course on the grounds and across the street in the city park.

What events go on at Oak Park?

The size of the park and the amenities offered make it a perfect space for almost any gathering. Oak Park has been the site of many reunions, retreats, conferences, craft shows, and weddings. Lost Creek hosts events there regularly, including the annual BBQ & Quilt Auction in April, the Easter Eggstravaganza, Back to School Bash, and the Fall Bazaar. 4 Kids & Community hosts their monthly suppers at the park. Plans are in the works to begin a Boy Scout Troop sponsored by Lost Creek that will meet there. This past year the park began hosting the Oak Park Concert Series that is open to the community with a variety of musicians and talents.
