Twin Oaks Park was thoughtfully designed in the early 1990s as a walk-in, neighborhood-focused “pedestrian park,” intentionally woven into the surrounding residential community. Accessible directly from nearby streets, the park offers a peaceful retreat centered on natural beauty and everyday recreation.
At its heart are two picturesque lakes stocked with koi fish, connected by a scenic bridge and accented by a gently flowing waterfall. The park also features a large open field for unstructured play, a basketball court, tennis court, sand volleyball court, and a multi-age playground. Two pavilions provide ideal spaces for picnics, small gatherings, and casual community events.
For many years, Twin Oaks Park remained accessible exclusively on foot. In the early 2010s, the Board of Aldermen approved the addition of limited parallel parking along the Crescent Avenue access road to better accommodate visitors from the surrounding area. Even with this change, the park’s design and intent remain focused on walk-in access for neighboring residents. Disabled-only parking is available adjacent to the basketball court. Overall parking remains limited to approximately 30 spaces along the access road, with occasional overflow use of the Twin Oaks Presbyterian Church parking lot when permitted.
To ensure safety and minimize disruption during the school year, access to Twin Oaks Park from the Twin Oaks Presbyterian Church property or parking lot is prohibited between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. from August 15 through June 1, while school is in session. This restriction includes walking across any portion of church property to reach the sidewalk leading into the park. Residents and visitors are asked to respect these regulations and use the Crescent Avenue entrance when accessing the park by vehicle.
These guidelines help preserve the park’s tranquil, neighborhood character while ensuring it remains a welcoming and enjoyable space for all.
