  • Very nice place to go too, we showed up about 30 minutes before closing, but were able to complete 1 trail, which was fairly easy. I would definitely go again, we saw some wildlife and the trail...

  • It is a very tranquil place. Even when it is crowded, it feels peaceful. The hikes are nice and good for all ages. The playground is very cute!

  • I absolutely love this place. The park rangers and naturalist are always so friendly and educational. You can tell they love their job. They engage with my children and are always excited about what they do. The park is so clean and safe and the wildlife you see are incredible. This place does wonders for education and anxiety. The staff really go above and beyond to make it this way. I always look forward to going back. 🤗💖
  • This location is stunning at any time of year. We were very well taken care of by the staff at the visitor's center. They are knowledgeable and answered our questions about the park's history and the live animals on display. We were awed by the beauty of the river and spotted deer while hiking. We had a great time and plan to return soon. The playground is another favorite hangout for children.
  • Great place to walk around and be outside. Several trails to get out and about. Not animal friendly. But has all kinds of birds, including ducks and Canadien geese. Fun little park for the little ones. Some of the old walnut trees have been damaged throughout the years but amazingly still alive. Worth a visit!
  • Always a nice place to bring children for a fun romp in the playground, and they’ll love the exhibits and hands-on learning in the visitors center. Also a great place to take a quiet walk in the woods to observe turtles, fish, birds of all sorts, and white-tailed deer. Bring and use insect repellent, as the ticks can be bad in the summer. This park is a real asset to OKC!
  • Beautiful park with nice playground, pond, streams, wooded area, trails and nature center. Not sure about dog friendliness since we saw numerous signs posted to keep dogs out. Restrooms in the nature center are clean and spacious. Large pavillion for paying groups. Large parking lot but it's typically full.
