The park is peaceful and large with quite a bit of space to walk, explore and just enjoy some nature. There is plenty of parking and if you're so inclined, you can follow my footsteps off the trails and go under the bridge down to the riverside where it is peaceful to be near the flowing water. There are also memorials here to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and a twisted steel beam from the World Trade Center attack on 9/11. [Review 16259 overall - 95 in Oklahoma - 1765 of 2021.]

Although I will say most days the water looks very brown and I personally wouldn't touch the water. But I have seen people kayak in it. They have swinging two seater seats that over look the water. They also have a cool map of Oklahoma that's engraved in the cement. On the other side of the park they have lots of trees and a nice walking path. There is a path leading to the bridge where you could walk across it . Both sides have restrooms. I have noticed there are TONS of mosquitoes that straight attack you during mosquito season. I stay clear of this park during that time, because I'm allergic to their bites. Love walking my dog because there is lots of shade and he loves the squirrels that he chases up the trees. Lately there's been a lot of electric bikes - kids in groups of like 5-7 at a time zooming through really fast on the walking path so heads up and be aware of that.

The park is well-maintained and clean, with plenty of benches and picnic tables along the way for resting or enjoying a snack. There are also several waste stations throughout the park, making it easy to clean up after your dog. The creek running through the park is a nice touch, providing a peaceful backdrop to your walk. Overall, Hailey Creek Park is a great spot for a leisurely dog walk in Tulsa. The scenery is beautiful, the park is well-kept, and there are plenty of amenities to make your visit enjoyable. I highly recommend it for pet owners looking for a nice place to take their furry friend for a stroll. Bathrooms were super clean and we noticed they had updated the frisbee golf to include more "holes"!

I found a nice spot to park, had a walk, checked out two different playgrounds that were in excellent shape, used the public restrooms and had a nice time here. There is a cute bridge over the park that would make for a good photo op. The restrooms were clean but there was some scattered trash here and there in the park. I couldn't tell if this is people who don't care or perhaps it was windy enough to blow trash out of the trash cans. The disc golfers are everywhere, so pay attention as you're driving and keep your speed down. [Review 16262 overall - 98 in Oklahoma - 1768 of 2021.]

It was better shaded before they improved it with the new sports complex, but at least they did plant trees to replace the ones that were torn down. Unfortunately, it will take a while to grow big enough to provide decent shade. That said, it's still a nice walking park. You can get about a mile by walking the trail once. It starts in the parking lot, wraps around a pond and then back to the parking lot. Oreo like it!
