Heritage Oaks Neighborhood Park

Heritage Oaks Neighborhood Park has a paved loop path, picnic areas, and a Nature Play area added in September 2025. We want to preserve the park's natural character and identify what community members want.  Future improvements will include improving accessibility for all visitors and preserving natural shade and trees.

An expanse of lawn is shown with a sidewalk edge and trees in the background.
