Elmer Thomas Park in Lawton, OK is not the most fascinating park ever…read more It was good enough for us back on July 26, 2025. My dog certainly appreciated it. We didn't stay here super long as I started getting anxious about the long drive back home. It's a public park. Free parking. There was a playground. A decent sized lake. Walking/running path. I stopped here mainly because the Comanche National Museum and Cultural Center is just a few hundred yards away. Go touch grass! Your brain and heart will thank you.

This is a public park, but the only attraction is the local prairie dogs. Cool to see the prairie…read moredogs in their environment.

It had gotten rundown after all wood only last so long. They voted to refurbished the park and this is what they ended up with. This is nice as well almost as nice lake Helen Park. I love all of the seating, has canopies over it for people to sit and they've got all kinds of equipment. The kids can play on climb on and explore. Young kids to old people are hanging out here. It's for everyone. There's just so much nice wide open room that you don't feel crowded here there's trash cans by everything where you could throw your trash away after you're done snacking or drinking or whatever you happen to be doing at the time but the nice thing about the Kidzone is it so wide open you can see everything now I cannot wait until summer to see how the little miniature splash pad is. They also have the tennis courts and a basketball goal for you to play basketball.

This is our favorite park in Lawton. Not for the park itself, which looks nice and wide open, has…read morea few covered areas, and public restrooms. We've never made it to that section, because we can not get beyond the most amazing play structure I've ever seen. Made of wood, multi leveled, filled with twists and turns and shoots and ladders, there is no better place to bring a child than to an area where the can let their imaginations run free. One corner looks like a pirate's ship. Another area has musical elements built into the wood. The back corner is set up like a western town. There are swings and slides, and benches for the adults. Trees provide shade in a few spots, and the entire playground is within a walled area, keeping kids safe from the nearby parking lot. There is only one small problem with this park. It is tucked away on a street that gets little traffic, and so is not seen by people driving nearby. Because of this sad fact, it is underutilized. There simply aren't enough children to fill the play structure. It isn't easy to captain a ship by oneself, one needs a crew! Castle raids need armies! Covert missions need teams. I tell everyone I know about this wonderful park. My child is just a bit too old to truly immerse himself in this amazing land of make believe, but the right group of kids would bring this place to life! Greer park is on 38th Street, between Cache and Gore. It is almost, not quite, across the street from Jimmy's Egg. If I had younger children, I would spend all of my weekends at this playground, listening to them create the world around them.

This place has so much potential, but majorly lacks it all due to the poor management and uncaring…read moreattitude of its owners and its employees. You can tell this place can't afford to shut business down for any upgrades or even intense cleaning or it'll be shut down completely. CONS: - Poor cleanliness, there dust and debris building up in all the areas of the foam playground. - Battle Pit has some old, stinky foam cubes. - Majority of the equipment definitely needs to be cleaned and maintained better. - STAFF, are barely legal kids themselves trying to look over kids maybe close in their own age. (It's Lawton, so I'm sure their child-care or basic child awareness are poor). - The adult, probably the only one truly an adult, runs back and forth to the kitchen, front desk, and overwatch of the area as if SHE's they only one who knows the regulations, policy, kitchen attendances requirements, and management rules. Bc again, the staff are just barely adults themselves or barely teens. - FOOD, was poorly made, definitely just boxed frozen food and put in the microwave. NO DESIGNATED chef or kitchen staff. - Price for the attractions were ridiculous!!! Ultimate and Deluxe, such BS!!! I get height and age restrictions for taller equipment, but WHY NOT HAVE a toddler or smaller kid zone designated areas?? You clearly have the open space right by the tables. - I get being watched and controlling the traffic, but there's a reason that policies and regulations were made so it's enforced. YOU as staff have liability of watching younger, smaller kids let alone any of the kids so why have SECURITY OR FUN-SUCKING RENTI-COPS telling kids to Stop jumping in the same trampoline when that's highly unavoidable and unlikely. - Their party package! Doesn't even come with pizza!!! How the in the world is that a party package!! - No child changing station in the men's restroom. - THERES SO MUCH MORE!! PROS: - The staff will leave you alone once you get on their nerve and it'll be a show. Plus, theirs too many damn kids running around for them to care for it all. I can go so much more for CONS of Thai place, but it'll just be sounding more of an insult by then. Don't waste your money here, go to Chuck E. Cheese. More for your buck. I'm sure it's not all the owners or staffs fault, but you're running the establishments. Do something about it.

We were visiting from out of town and were looking for a dog park for our pup to get her energy out…read moreand had seen this one online. It was not easy to find, a bit hidden off the road. WOW, if we could be any more disappointed, I'd be shocked. For small dogs you have to enter the large dog park FIRST and then go into the smaller one inside. No poop bag stations either- so clearly this was geared towards large dogs. Next- it was the most disgusting dog park- trash EVERYWHERE. Bottles with what looked like human pee in it? I tried to clean up the trash a bit before we let our pup play, but it just was not worth it and didn't want to risk her getting sick from something. I would suggest passing on this park if you are not a regular because clearly this is not maintained well.

Chas Callich called me on the phone and asked me to interview for the position. i show up at the agreed upon time only to be met by a police officer that told me i was under arrest for that warrant from 1989, keep in mind this was 2014. Chas let me show up knowing full well i was going to be arrested for something that happened 25 years earlier, over $40. when i asked him about what was going on, he said "there was nothing i could do" um, yes, you could have told me there was a warrant out for me and $40 bucks would have taken care of that. apparently, this is how things are done in Medicine Park.
