Street and path names
Oak Hill Park is a living memorial to World War II veterans . One of the first acts of the Veterans Housing Department was to choose the names for the 33 streets and paths in the neighborhood . They chose to name them all after Newton servicemen who had died in World War II . On 14 April 1948 , a lottery was held to choose the names from a submitted list of 261 Newton citizens . The 33 names now identified with Oak Hill Park were drawn impartially from this list , while the remaining 228 names were memorialized when the Memorial Elementary School was dedicated in their honor .
