City of Lake Dallas - River Oaks Park

River Oaks Park, located at the corner of River Oaks and Sunny Oak in the Thousand Oaks Neighborhood, is a family friendly park for all ages.

River Oaks Park has two play structures for children ages 2-12. The recently completed picnic pavilion offers a great place to serve lunch, cook on the barbeque grill or hold a gathering. The large play field is perfect for practicing sports or engaging in a game of tag. The full serpentine sidewalk provides a walking and biking track, and the park benches offer a resting spot to view the entire play area.

This park is a great example of community partnership. Located on three lots, the park is surrounded by a neighborhood of 540 homes, located in both Lake Dallas and Corinth. Through fundraising efforts, including a commemorative brick patio, residents of Thousand Oaks began the endeavor of building a playground on the lots. The Lake Dallas Community Development Board recognized the efforts of the neighborhood residents and used their funds to complete the playground. Two years later, Phase II was completed, adding benches, garbage receptacles, sidewalks and the picnic pavilion.

On any given afternoon, families are found at this park visiting with neighbors or enjoying the day with their children.
