This former roadside park is across the road from the former Twin Oaks Camp. In the 1920s and early-30s the camp was owned by Sadie McMenus, she sold both to L. E. Snyder and his daughter Maude in 1936. Maude later donated to Park to the Town of Phillipsburg. It was known both as Twin Oaks Park and Snyder Park.

For many years from the late 20s to the early 40s the park was the location of at least part of the Twin Oaks Annual Picnic. In the early 1940s there were parking areas and picnic tables, typical of small roadside parks. In the mid 1950s some road maps still marked this spot as a roadside park.

Maude Snyder and her father bought the Twin Oaks Camp and this parkland in 1936.
