I haven't been here in a while and my friends and I decided to go for a walk to get some exercise…read more We got up early and went to beat the heat. It was very nice walking the path in the morning. There were a couple other people up early as well. The path was fairly clean, although we did pass an area where someone threw at least 4 used diapers on the ground instead of walking 40 feet to the trash can. There is not any shade at this walking/ biking path, so bring some sunblock, wear sunglasses, and wear a hat. There are lots of birds and animals to see. We saw some sort of mongoose looking animal that was super cute to watch. He has brown fur and was long and skinny. He was jumping from rock to rock at the lighthouse area. There's a lot of restaurants near the parking area we were at.

But first I had to teach him how to get in & out of the clips. Well 30 minutes later we were finally riding! So the ride took forever but I have no regrets! Teaching my grandson's riding etiquette was key for the whole day! Here's to a whole new level of fun! Can't wait to do this again!!!

Instead of informing use that the area was already reserved when we were paying to get in. So when we were forced to vacate our pavilion we had no where to find shad and was forced to sit in the grass. We only stayed about 30min or so after that. Also the snack bar is cash only. It's 2024 not very many people keep cash on them. The lifeguards were continuously blowing the whistles at kids just having fun. Pool is nice to chill in but the management needs work.

You can see some pretty greenery in the spring and summer. There's a little stream and a walking bridge that you can go over. There's a dog park for small dogs and big dogs. Sometimes I notice people in the small dog park with large dogs, so we are not able to go in. Little annoying. Most of the people do not pick up their dog's poop along the trail. Good to go for a nice summer day for outdoor activities.

They even placed a pecan sheller for those tht harvest them. The trail winds thru the trees and behind done neighborhoods. This section is approximately 2+ miles and winds along soldier creek. It is fully paved with a slight grade in some areas. It is totally wheelchair accessible. As always just pay attention to your surrounding.

Ask a local. Loved…read morevisiting Scissortail Park in Oklahoma City. The park is filled with flower gardens, native prairie grssses and som many walkways. It was so nice to explore on a sunny spring afternoon. This has to be a bird lovers paradise. The Scissortail is the state bird of Oklahoma. It is known for its distinctive black and white tail that seems to open and close like a pair of scissors during flight. Just the tail can grow up to 10 inches. Although I did not see any Scissortails, there were plenty of other birds to spot. Red-winged blackbirds. House finches. Great tailed grackles. Green herons. Great white egrets. And the cutest family of Canada geese with their little gosling babies. Adorable! Don't miss the Skydance Bridge. Also known as the Scissortail Bridge, it is inspired by the courtship dance of the Scissortail birds. The pedestrian bridge crosses over I-40 linking the two sides of the park. A great recommendation from a local.

It felt very tranquil and remote, despite being right in the middle of the city. Lots of people were out. There are a number of public spaces with benches, a small play area for kids, and tons of open green space. Shady areas if you want, or sunny grass-covered areas if you'd rather. There is a little creek that winds through the middle of the park. I didn't see any public restrooms, but otherwise you could spend lots of time here. If you are a runner or want to walk some distance, there are two other parks in the area - Sparrow Park and Goodholm Park are only a few blocks away. I made a trifecta and did laps around all three. Wonderful green space!

These are some great trails right next to the Oklahoma River!!…read more Paved and flat, until you go under some of the bridges here, this was a great spot for me to get my runs in while I was here!! Easy parking, you will see the occasional runner or biker here depending on when you come. I did see a group run also! Along with the river, you do get some good views of the OKC skyline here!!

If you like long distance biking without a lot of incline or congestion, then the Oklahoma River…read moreTrails are for you. I mean, who wouldn't want to go fast without having to zig-zag in between runners, families or other bikes? The trail is well paved with the occasional slight gravel, which is totally avoidable. The path is somewhat like a large 13 mile oval shape, without any street crossings or stop signs. This would be a perfect spot to train for races. I would not recommend bringing your families on the trail just because road bikers are going fairly fast. Wouldn't want a little one stumbling in front of a bike going 20-30 miles a hour. For the sake of runners, the unseen corners are well marked with caution signs and there are two lanes to avoid collision. Overall it's a beautiful spot, there are geese and some other water fowl and the sun hits the river perfectly. There's a moment where you are riding beside a view of the city as well as the beautiful trail. This is probably the least congested biking trail I've been to in Oklahoma City. I would recommend starting at/ parking at Devon Boathouse at Regatta Park. There's also additional parking across the street. I could see this place being a good spot for group bikers as well, it's not far from Bricktown if you want to ride into the city a little bit to grab a bite to eat.
