Herb Stark and his wife Ruth Stark established the airport on an old dairy farm in 1972 after their previous airstrip in Tigard closed in 1969. The original runway was built out of dirt and gravel, and later partially paved with asphalt before the entire runway was paved. Herb and Ruth's son Robert Stark and his wife Betty took over ownership of Twin Oaks, and still owned the airpark as of August 2012. I spoke with their daughter who is now taking an active hand in the running of the air park.
Fuel, aircraft repair, and flight training are available at the airport located along River Road and the Tualatin River. Twin Oaks hosts a fly-in breakfast on the first Saturday of each month, organized by EAA Chapter 105. There are nine hangars, with approximately 140 aircraft stationed at the airport. Twin Oaks sees about 61 flights per day on the single runway. Twin Oaks has a large and varied fleet available for rent. They also offer flying lessons.
