 A day in the great outdoors |
3101 Southwest 119th Street Oklahoma City, OK 73170 United States +1 405 691 5430 |
Get out and experience Oklahoma's beautiful weather at Earlywine Park. Families can spend the afternoon picnicking and playing on the playground. For sporting enthusiasts, a highly regarded golf course presents a welcome challenge. In addition, a tennis center and a soccer and softball field are located on the grounds. If you prefer solitary activities, suit up for a jog on the park's one-and-a-half mile trail. If exercise is not on your mind, just get comfortable and enjoy a southwestern sunset.

 Park by the lake |
4491 South Lake Hefner Road Oklahoma City, OK 73116 United States +1 405 297 2211 |
Considered one of Oklahoma City's favorite parks, Hefner is always full of people out and about. This place has it all. There are playgrounds, picnic tables, soccer and softball fields, a golf course, and a nine-mile jogging and biking trail. Most afternoons one can see kites or model airplanes flying high overhead. Often, visitors just stop by to watch the colorful sailboats cruise along in Lake Hefner, which is adjacent to the park. This is a great place to people-watch. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Take a hike |
5000 W Memorial Rd Oklahoma City, OK 73142 United States +1 405 755 0676 http://www.okc.gov/query.html?... |
This is a real nature experience. Walk along 3.5 miles of foot trails under thick foliage. Guided hikes can be scheduled, or you can go alone. Informational stands along the way tell about native plants and animals. Become one with the environment—feed turtles in the freshwater pond and take a moment to bird watch. Highlights for children are the prairie dog town and squirrel observatory. Whether you are alone or with the family, an afternoon strolling through the park is a great way to unwind. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |
