Heritage Farm Park

After several years of careful planning the vision of parkland amid a bucolic open landscape has become a reality. Heritage Farm Park, named in recognition of the rich agrarian roots of Oak Ridge, boasts 60 acres of mixed woodland and farmland seamlessly laced into areas providing recreational amenities and facilities. Located at 8515 Scoggins Road, the park is a short walking distance from Town Hall and Oak Ridge Elementary School with Oak Ridge Town Park within close proximity as well. The site was once a farm owned by the Whitaker family and the original garage remains standing proudly on the property - a nod to our past blending easily into the present.

With ample parking, paved walking trails, an inclusive playground, lighted multipurpose fields, restrooms and a picnic shelter, Heritage Farm Park is a destination for everyone craving the outdoors. The park's development was partially funded by an NC Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF) matching grant to help defray construction costs. Work is currently underway to add multiple sports courts to the park (see the approved design concept for Phase 2 linked below). Included in the design will be basketball, tennis, and pickleball courts along with fitness stations, shaded structures and expanded parking. You may view the Heritage Farm Park Phase 2 Design presentation given to Town Council on September 4, 2025, here.

Also at the park is the Veterans Honor Green, a memorial dedicated to honoring members of our nation's military forces. This memorial is funded by generous donations and matching funds from the Town of Oak Ridge: Veterans Honor Green. Walk to the outer side of the multipurpose fields and you'll discover a tranquility garden dedicated to past members of the Lions Club by the Lions Club.

The park is open from dawn to dusk, 7 days a week.  Free Wi-Fi is available at the park. The password is ORTPwifi.

We welcome all visitors to Heritage Farm Park to enjoy our many amenities and to just marvel at the beautiful landscape.
