Royal Oaks Park

Trail Gateway & Outdoor Escapes

Royal Oaks Park isn't just a local green space - it's your ticket to adventure. The park connects directly to the Halfway Wash Trail and links up with the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve via the Paradise Rim Trail, making it great for anyone looking to stretch their legs and explore.

The meandering walking paths within the grounds are ideal for a peaceful morning stroll or a quick lunchtime workout. What's cool is how these paths seamlessly connect to nearby trail systems, so you can easily extend your journey beyond the park itself. Many locals start their runs or longer walks here, using the park as a launchpad for bigger adventures.

Park Features & Amenities

This 8.9-acre community space offers surprisingly lush grassy areas and plenty of shade from beautiful mature trees - a welcome green retreat from the surrounding desert landscape. The grounds are well-maintained year-round.

If you're bringing kids along, they'll love the recently updated playground with its modern equipment. The play area features slides, swings, monkey bars, and climbing structures all set on cushioned plastic turf for safer landings. While children of various ages can enjoy it, the playground is particularly great for kids who've graduated from the toddler stage.

Sports fans, take note: there's a lighted half-basketball court that's meant for evening games when the desert heat subsides. Restroom facilities are available on-site, though be aware they're located a bit of a walk from the playground area.

Thirsty? You can find drinking fountains across the park, including a thoughtful lower fountain for four-legged friends - convenient when you're visiting with your leashed dog.

Picnic & Gathering Spaces

The park offers space for family lunches or casual meet-ups with friends. The park features two covered pavilions, along with several picnic tables and barbecue grills scattered around the grounds.

These setups make it easy to host anything from a birthday celebration to an impromptu weekend cookout. The shaded areas are especially valuable during those hot summer months, providing much-needed relief from the intense desert sun.

Over the years, the park has hosted various community gatherings and festivals. The space combines recreational facilities with natural beauty in the St. George area.

Accessibility & Good to Know

You'll find adequate parking areas if you're arriving by car. The updated playground area features terrain that accommodates strollers and wheelchairs, making the park more accessible for everyone.

Dog owners will appreciate that the park is pet-friendly, with designated trash cans specifically for waste disposal. Just remember to keep your dog leashed and clean up after them to help maintain the cleanliness that makes this park so enjoyable for everyone.
