About

Oakcrest Park in Encinitas sits on a hillside lot at 1219 Encinitas Boulevard, one of the few city parks equipped with dedicated bocce ball and horseshoe courts that host organized tournament play. A connecting dirt trail and wide walking path link the park directly to the Encinitas Community and Senior Center, creating a continuous recreation corridor between the two facilities. The playground is designed for younger children with age-posted structures, and the single half-court basketball setup sits near public restrooms accessed via a staircase from the lower park level. Mature shade trees canopy much of the picnic area, where charcoal grills and covered tables support gatherings under the city's beer-and-wine-permitted park policy. The park's Encinitas Boulevard address places it along the same east-west fitness corridor used by runners and cyclists heading to studios like CorePower Yoga - Encinitas further west. The bocce courts feature regulation-length packed-gravel surfaces with raised wooden borders and integrated scoring markers at each end.
