About the Area
The Eldridge/West Oaks area has grown from rural sprawling ranches ~30 years ago, to booming residential developments, energy, and business growth. There are numerous facilities and attractions within or adjacent to our SN, including the Terry Hershey Park Bike Trail System, the Westside Hike and Bike Trail. Parks within SN17's boundaries include the Ray Miller Park (on Eldridge Parkway), Archbishop Joseph A. Fiorenza Park (just north of Westpark Tollway) and George Bush Park to the west.
Kendall Library sits on the border of EWOSN, is a state-of-the-art library, and a community center. The library has meeting rooms and an indoor basketball court!
