Tarrytown as a subdivision was established in 1915 and, due to its remarkable canopy of oak trees, utilized the 1930’s advertising slogan: “Where oak trees charm the eye.” Today, three area parks help preserve that natural feel. Reed Park has a winding stream, pool, playground, and trails. Tarrytown Park, often referred to as “Triangle Park,” offers a baseball field, playscape, and natural surroundings, including a creek. West Enfield Park provides a playscape, pool, play fields, and an hourly view of the MoPac train. Other nearby attractions include Mayfield Preserve, which is beloved for its peacocks, Lions Municipal Golf Course, and spring-fed swimming pool Deep Eddy.
