Live Oak Parks

Created in the 1971 from property donated by a developer Llyod Denton and currently serving as a major flood control project, the Live Oak main park has its primary entrance off Welcome Dr. and Leafy Hollow. The park area was petitioned to become a Texas Historical Site in 1979 because of an old Indian Camp Site that was located in the park. Records of the archeological dig remain in the records of the city. A total of approximately 75 acres, this park features several amenities including a football field, basketball court, skate spot, three baseball fields, multiple playscapes and a disc golf course. A 2014 bond project provided lights to all ball fields as well as a trail that circumnavigates the lake to make a path of nearly 2 miles long in entirety. The playground areas are equipped…

The lake in our Lakeside Park was created in a watershed management project by the San Antonio River Authority, who still controls the dam and the spillway around it. The city initially began discussions in 1974 about taking over the area around the lake and in 1975 the park area was set up in a three-phase plan funded by a grant through the Texas Parks and Wildlife. The entrance to the lake and pond area at the main park is Lone Shadow Trail to Lazy Forest Drive and is the home to a tranquil spot and an ideal location for picnics, walks or a day of fishing. The gazebo, that has been recently updated, is the perfect location for getting those one of a kind photo with the picturesque lake as a backdrop. There are two handicap accessible fishing piers, one at the lake that was spon…

Created with a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone that included the Auburn Hills of Woodcrest, Regent properties pledged the property and $300,000 dollars to the city for the creation of this park that would serve as an amenity (and flood control device) for all of Woodcrest and Auburn Hills of the Woodcrest subdivisions. The park itself is located at 11021 Forest Pass Court and can be accessed off of Forest Bluff from Toepperwein Road. When it was officially opened on June 1, 2009, approximately 32 acres, most being natural wooded areas, made the park a favorite for the surrounding residents. The walking and jogging trails are thoughtfully looped to get you back to the starting area with several trails and picnic tables, many of them shaded, so you can stop and enjoy nature with your dini…

Created with the excess right-of-way when the Judson/Toepperwein Road intersection was improved, this area is home to a gazebo and seating area that has proven to be the favorite of visitors, healthcare workers and patients from the Methodist Hospital/Northeast. This park is located across from the hospital with a safe accessible crosswalk.  The park is adorned with plantings from the Live Oak Garden Club and has been the site of many Arbor Day ceremonies and plant sales. Additional planters were added in 2019 and a masonry fence was installed in 2020 to provide a better-looking backdrop to the already serene park.

The pool, clubhouse and park was acquired by the city from the old Live Oak Village Community Association HOA back in the 1970’s.  The pool is a favorite for summer visitors and has housed the Live Oak Dolphin Swim Team for many years.  The clubhouse is a favorite for our Seniors of Live Oak for gatherings and is available for rentals through the city for birthday parties and other family gatherings.  The park has a playscape featuring swings and slides and other amenities typical for a park within the city. The building behind the pool and playground housed a Boy Scout troop for many years. Behind the Boy Scout Hut, there is a baseball field that is also available for use on a first come first serve basis, if the Northeast Little League isn’t playing on it.

Acquired during the annexations into the city in the 1970’s this park has been on the paper maps of the Robards Subdivision area for years. The Robards Subdivision was developed in 1954 when a man named Henry S. Robards subdivided the area where the Woodcrest subdivision is currently located. The lots set up by Mr. Robards was not even to county standards at the time and it led to this area being undeveloped for decades. With the development of the Vista Ridge subdivision, a deal was made with the developer to provide a walking trail through this future park to connect the residents of Vista Ridge to Avery Rd. From there it is just a short walk (and future connection) to the Woodcrest Nature Park. This park promises a natural walking area, plenty of natural plants and foliage, and the w…
