Heritage Oaks Park

Trail System

The Purser Heritage Hike & Bike Trail stretches 3.8 miles through Heritage Oaks Park, winding through Killeen's natural landscapes. The trail varies from 6 to 12 feet wide, giving you plenty of room whether you're out for a peaceful morning stroll, training for your next 5K, or enjoying a bike ride with the family.

As you make your way along the path, you'll cross Trimmer Creek several times via low-water crossings, adding a touch of adventure to your journey. One of the best things about this trail? The generous tree coverage providing welcome shade that makes even a Texas summer day bearable. The natural hills offer just enough variation to keep things interesting without exhausting you.

Recreational Activities

If you're into disc golf, you're in for a treat. Heritage Oaks features a disc golf course that locals rave about. No matter if you're trying the sport for the first time or you've been slinging discs for years, the well-designed course offers the right balance of challenge and fun.

Feel free to bring your rollerblades too - the paved paths are smooth enough for a good ride. Nature lovers, keep your eyes peeled! The park is home to various bird species, and if you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of deer wandering through the natural areas.

Connectivity

Heritage Oaks Park does double duty as a green space and a connector between Killeen and Harker Heights. A convenient sidewalk runs alongside the trail, linking up with Purser Park and expanding your exploration options within the regional trail network.

Facilities

As part of the Heritage Oaks community in Killeen, the park offers outdoor facilities you can rent through the city's Parks and Recreation department.

If you're planning an event, rentals cost $75 for a 4-hour block. You can book these spaces Monday through Sunday during morning hours (6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.) or evening hours (4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.).

Amenities

Good news for dog owners - your four-legged friends are welcome here! You'll regularly see locals walking their pups on the trails. The park management has thoughtfully placed dog waste stations across the grounds to keep things clean and enjoyable for everyone.

Note that the park doesn't currently have restroom facilities or picnic tables. It's a good idea to plan ahead before your visit - maybe bring a portable chair if you'd like to sit and enjoy the scenery for a while.
