===Riverside Park=== Riverside Park is Oswego's flagship park property. Located on {{convert|80|acre|m2}} near the north boundary of the city, Riverside Park overlooks the {{convert|100|ft|m|adj=on}} bluff that defines Oswego. It is home to the [[Labette County, Kansas|Labette County]] Fairgrounds, the {{convert|10,000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} Oswego Community Center, the historic Oswego City Pool, shelter houses, walking trails, RV campgrounds, and playground equipment. Riverside Park also includes tennis courts, horseshoe pits, and two baseball/softball fields, as well as ample parking. Many of the stone structures were built in the 1930s as part of a series of State of Kansas public works employment projects. ====Oswego City Pool==== Built in 1935 to service the entire Southeast Kansas region, Oswego City Pool continues to serve the citizens of Oswego using its historic facilities. In the late 2000s, the [[National Park Service]] provided a grant to the City of Oswego to replace the concrete deck surrounding the pool, as well as the protective chain link fence. Work was also done to replace the aging diving board stands and water slide.<ref>[http://www.oswegokansas.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=28&Itemid=29 Oswego City Pool]</ref> ====Oswego Community Center==== Built in 2006 as part of Community Development Grant funded through the [[Kansas Department of Commerce]], the {{convert|10,000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} facility plays host to a number of community events, including weddings, county fair exhibits, and community luncheons.<ref>[http://www.oswegokansas.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=21&Itemid=23 Oswego Community Center]</ref> ====Labette County Fairgrounds==== Encompassing the southern portion of Riverside Park, the Labette County Fairgrounds are host to many barns, exhibit halls, and Memorial Stadium.
