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.

Don't get too excited about this area. Not much to see when it comes to scenery no matter what…read moreseason of the year it is. But I do have to say that at least they attempt to do something seasonally and on holidays. It can be better though. PROS: - Walking/ Running cemented and dirt trail around the park. - A huge, but not well kept playground near the pond. - Pond you can fish and small boat but hardly anything to fish. - Splash park (not very well maintained bc some fountain play equipment are stained and looks like build up algae) and some are not operational. - Seasonal / Holiday attractions (I.e. Christmas lights, Small pop up flea market and tents, drive thru seasonal/ holiday attractions. Etc) - Two Museums near park - Small dog walk CONS: - Ponds is filled will turtles so fishing is hard and not stocked - Minor attractions that could be more - Pricey when it comes to asking to establish an event of some sort - Maintenance on the parks and facility around the park aren't maintained well

We had a nice little getaway here in a medium-size cabin. The cabin was clean with beautiful rustic…read morewood craftsmanship. It had a bedroom and a loft with another bed upstairs (both beds were full size). The kitchen has a microwave and stove, but no oven. It also has a refrigerator. There is a small TV with Direct TV if there's a game or something you just can't miss. There is also decent cell service (we have AT&T) and WiFi access. The bathroom had just a shower, which isn't a big deal for many people, but something to keep in mind if you have kids that only take baths. You have to bring your own linens. This is located on base at Fort Sill, but I believe people without a military ID can access the area with a visitors pass. In addition to cabins are tent sites and RV sites. You don't have to be camping to use the beach and other amenities like the playgrounds after paying an entrance fee. The beach has a lifeguard on duty and a facility with restrooms/showers. There is a little room for improvement when it comes to maintenance. There was peeling paint on our cabin, spiderwebs in many places outside, and a piece missing on our bench on the porch. There were seagull feathers and (dog?) poop all over the beach. Two of the three playgrounds were covered with overgrown grass (but to be fair one had a sign saying it was undergoing maintenance). Overall, I thought it was a great value at $90 per night. It's nothing fancy, but our cabin was perfect for "glamping" and the area is beautiful with picturesque views of Mount Scott. It was a nice, relaxing escape and I look forward to visiting again!

The City of Lawton does it right with its parks. They maintain a multitude of small, low frill…read moreparks throughout neighborhoods all over town. Some are tiny and others quite large, however each is a place set aside for the community. Gray Warr is actually a decent sized area. The boot camp I attend is occasionally held here. There are some run down softball fields, tennis courts and a small playground. The grounds are maintained and it serves its purpose as a safe recreation area for individuals, children or families. It is A-OK!

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.

I'm a stroke survivor who had issues gathering my trash after they decided to stop picking up everyone's trash twice a week so that they could find us for having extra to put out. I was forced to get out and clean with bad health. And AFTER neatly placing bagged trash mostly, to be picked up I was charged 151$ to pick it up. I'm so sick of being raped by utility companies I. Lawton Oklahoma. All thru go I'd raise fees and use it to fix or build nothing in the community. No improvements to service .

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.
