Five Oaks Crossing offers residents close proximity to one of Mansfield’s 12 parks, Joe Pool Lake, and a two-mile bicycling, walking, and jogging trail. Also in Mansfield, whose motto is “Minutes to Everything, Second to None,” the city’s Activities Center is a community focal point, with class, recreational activities, and children’s camps. Close by, too, are 240 acres of gorgeous park land, Mansfield’s historic and revitalized downtown, and the area’s blossoming economy. Children attend Mansfield Independent School District’s schools.
