Southern Oaks Park

Park Overview

Tucked away on Southern Plantation Drive in College Station, Texas, Southern Oaks Park offers 8.3 acres of recreational space that is a green haven within this historical community. This family-friendly spot provides an ideal escape for locals and visitors looking to enjoy some outdoor time.

Disc Golf Course

One of the park's standout features is its 9-hole disc golf course, established in 2010. If you're into disc golf, you'll appreciate the technical, wooded layout that challenges your skills and shot selection. The course's compact design means you'll need to navigate some tight spaces - a fun challenge that adds character to your game. Don't worry if you're just starting out though; despite its technical aspects, newcomers can still have a great time throwing discs here.

Recreational Amenities

Beyond disc golf, the park houses a basketball court where you can shoot some hoops or jump into a pickup game. Families with younger children will love the playground area that's particularly well-suited for kids between 5-10 years old. The play equipment keeps little ones engaged and entertained, which explains why you'll often spot local families making this their regular weekend hangout spot.

Natural Features

Need a moment of peace? The circular walking trails weaving through wooded areas offer a wonderful setting for a morning jog or a contemplative afternoon stroll. The natural surroundings provide a refreshing change from city life without having to travel far.

Scattered around the park, you'll find picnic tables where you can enjoy a packed lunch or simply sit and watch the world go by. And good news for dog owners - your four-legged friends are welcome here, making those trail walks even more enjoyable.

Visitor Information

The park welcomes visitors daily from 5 AM to 11 PM. Just a heads-up: there are no public restrooms available on site, so plan accordingly before your visit.

Maintenance

The City of College Station Parks and Recreation department keeps Southern Oaks Park in good shape, ensuring you can find a clean, well-maintained space for your outdoor activities.
