There is around a 10 mile lap around Hefner lake to run, ride bikes, and this park is where the your adventure begins. This park is south east of the lake off Grande, east of portland and highway 74. It has the dog park, baseball fields and a basic place to picnic and play area. Lake Hefner is a great place to boat, watch the sunrise, sunset, fish(catfish, all kinds of bass, suprisingly good walleye) good restaurants on (Britton rd), take your kids to the parks( one on each side of the lake).

This could be a cute park, but its not being well-maintained. The grass is high and it needs new mulch. Its muddy because of the mulch situation.We came in the morning on a weekday. I drove through a questionable looking neighborhood to get to the park. On top of it, we arrived being the only people around. The situation did not make me feel too comfortable and we didnt stay long.

The only bad thing I can say is trash cans were few and far between and all were overflowing. It may be COVID related...? Beautiful walking trail around the lake. Kids everywhere. Dog Friendly. Restaurant on the water. Lighthouse.

This is the perfect ambience for any occasion! Love this!

We were only at the area for the dog park & OKC Broncos baseball stadium but it was very nice & well maintained.

I went to take my dog to dog park! You have to be a member? Shame on you! My taxes pay upkeep on parks and you want more money? There were no forms I could fill out, no information on cost, and my dogs vet. has to fill out forms? Well I am appalled you would make a dog park for members only!

This park has beautiful views and today it was 58° and somewhat windy. Lots of birds to see, many of which were huddled together like friends, even though they were different kinds of birds. I thought that was pretty cool. Enjoyed walking the well maintained trails. My only complaint would be that someone in the city needs to empty the trashcans. They were all full.

We went to this park today and found that it was very clean, the equipment was maintained, and there were several of families enjoying the nice weather.

Nice place to visit, walk/run/bike trails, picnic areas, fishing, BBQ, restaurants... This place has it all!

Nice! Love the wildlife however..I didnt feel very welcomed there. Js

This is the only place in Oklahoma City that you can kind of forget youre in Oklahoma City with the lighthouse and the view of the lake all the restaurants

Great place for me to get some walking in, wish there was more water though.

Beautiful place to visit.

Great park we all have a moral responsibility to help keep our local parks clean. Do your part and help by simply cleaning up after yourself ppl!

So beautiful, a great place for the family!

Rolling hills, creeks, ponds, so much fun

Basketball court and plenty of room the basketball ball goals need work though

This place is amazing! From family time to a romantic date night. you cant go wrong.

Its a nice place for a walk or run, to exercise or just relax, there are good places to eat too like Louis for example.

You can walk, run or bring your doggies,kite rollerblades or just relax on the grass.

Private dog park

I love Hefner Park. I go to the dog park here. Ive been going to this dog park for over 10 years. Its always very well maintained. If an aggressive dog comes in, they make them leave and are not allowed back with that aggressive dog. I love that they had two sections. Small dog side and big dog side. The big dog side has an entrance to take your dog and let them swim in the lake. During the summer, they put out a kiddy pool on the small dog side. Highly recommended!!!

Small and older, but it was fun for my girls for what it was.

Hefner Park has alot to offer for people of all ages. Playgrounds, walking trails, golf courses, skate ramps, bike trails, soccer fields, softball, baseball fields. As well as a workout station. There is also a Splash Pad for all ages to enjoy.

A good place to stop and relax and look out over the lake. Some times you have to stop to injoy life and Hefner Park does that.

Dont forget your bug spray! That is, unless being devoured by ravenous mosquito hoards that attack like ocean predators after a bait-ball while choking on the swarming gnats that kamikaze straight to the back of your throat with each of your exacerbated cries happens to be your thing. It is beautiful and peaceful as long as you shower in DEET before you go. The real DEET, Im talking the 90% carcinogen, lymphoma inducing chemical shield.

A nice place to walk a dog and get yourself some physical activity too. If youre up for just watching people accomplish some physical activity, Hefner Park is the place for you too.

Great park. Place looks amazing.

Very good place for kids and families

Great views and restaurants. New to oklahoma? Trails walk dogs ride bikes this is a really cool local OKC area

Lake Hefner is the best place to run on a Saturday morning.

This is a great place to ride. Great scenery! It’s a 10 mile ride.

10 miles of bike, running skating or walking path lots of fun!!!!

Great place for kids and to walk your fur babies...

Great place to fly a kite, ride a bike, or just walk around and enjoy the view.

Spring has sprung and we once again have water in the lake. For those of us who sail and pay for a wet slip yearly, it would be nice if the lake had enough water to sail year round. It would also be nice if there was something to do at the lake but there isnt. The interest in boating has gone and unless you are a boat club member, there are no activities.

I was here at night to catch a new Pokemon for my grandson. I was afraid at first, but the people here were playing basketball ball, I ran others off... Ha, no. A van approached me as we were leaving and frightened me, but they were asking directions to the Stars and Stripes park... lost, needing to pick up her son & frantic. So all things happen for a reason, my being here at night!

Cool place

My boy is worn out from the doggie park. He really likes going to just hang out and meet other dogs. He really likes to go to the swimming area as well.

Great scenic place to get fresh air and exercise

Our dogs really love it there.

Outside kids gym was great. We need more parks like this

We enjoy going to all of the Parks!

Its great for walking, picnic and exercise

Decent park. Been here plenty of times now. City doesn’t mow as much as the park needs and fields aren’t nice. Just a basic park maintained by the city.

I grew up going here my whole life and theres a lot to do. You can bike or walk around the entire lake, go to the stars and stripes park with family. Have a cook out in multiple locations around the lake, and go fishing on the dock or at the edge of various parts of the lake.

Fun little park. Should add a wet pad for kids.

Very clean and fun!

Easy-going place to relax and unwind or exercise

Nice place to fish take long walks and exercise

We saw a picture of a lighthouse posted for this place when looked up on Google but to our disappointment, there was none. I dont get why they would do such.

Great place to jog, walk the dog, fly a kite, whatever!

Has a dog park off leash. Best place for them to roam and be free.

Great lake & dog park!

Lovely location and very family friendly.

Enjoy taking a walk at this park

We when here to have my nephews birthday parties. The wind would not work with us and blew everything away. Over all we still had an amazing time. It was enough room for everyone and enough room for the children to play at the playground.

Well kept area. Nice play ground equipment.

Clean and has a lot of variety for kids of different ages.

I love this park! Its beautiful

Awesome place for tue wed Friday night football(soccer). Under the light

I adore lake hefner and all that goes on there. The people are great. I proposed to my wife here. Its a beautiful lake with gorgeous scenery and great biking trails.

Nice view at sunset

So many things to do and see! Walking trail was clean, relaxing, and easy to get to. Porta potties accessible throughout park.

Nice

The dog park charged a membership fee.

Peacefully very polite and kept us happy made a great night

Dog park is nice. Has a fenced in Pond. Park with toys adjacent. Open field for sprints, tai chi or yoga. Off the beaten path, but super close to May Ave. and NW Expwy. Good dog indoor wash facility almost to May on Grand from dog park.

There are so many things to do here and so many pretty parts of this lake. There is a quite a bit of litter. Wishing the locals would keep it cleaner.

Great place to park if homeless

I love this park

Nice place to let the dogs play good people for the owners to chat with win for all who go

Nice family outdoor space

I love how big this park is. There is everything from a kids play area to softball fields

Please have more portable bathrooms for the trails.

Nice clean Football field, but needs to be smoothed out

Needs someone to pick up the little trash

Tennis courts. Basketball court.

Its gorgeous

Beautiful views of the lake.

The dog park is toward the back, use the west road and all three dog enclosures are adjacent to the ball park. The pond area is gated if you dont want to mess with a wet dog.

Love this park. Very open field and dog friendly

Great clean place

Brenda its cold but its nice

Well maintained. Has the dog park. Otherwise, noise from Hefner Parkway wrecks any sense of peace or calm.

Nice place for a good time whit the family. The place need more attraction

Dog park no longer allows kids. We wont be going back. No shade and fire ants EVERYWHERE.

Lots of fun for the dogs and humans

I love taking my dog on walks here. Its so peaceful.

A good place for a peaceful walk ♡

There is a really good dog park here with a small dog section as well as a big dog section. Each section has a separate entrance & exit, each composed of double gates to lessen the chance of a dog slipping out as someone opens the gate. Keep in mind, however, this is not fullproof. If your dog is small, he/she will be able to slip under the first exit gate in the big dog section and quickly bolt out of the park the moment someone opens that second gate to leave. My pug/beagle mix did this in a flash with me standing right there and I had to dash after him. This notable space for smaller dogs to slip through in the big dog section is the only weak point of an otherwise well enclosed dog park (of note, there is no such big gap under the gates in the small dog section).

I love it here, my family comes all of the time.

A diverse place, several gravel side roads, good escape from the coty...

Great program for kids. Staff is caring. Location is clean.

This park is a great place to bring your dog on those hot summer days. Its large and has a good concrete pad with a hose to rinse/bath your dog, a bathroom would be awesome but I know funding just might not be there for something like that. Rules are not enforced with any kind of consistency if park management is present (i. e. A family with a smaller child maybe seven years old will bill told to leave yet pitbulls will be allowed to stay) both are not allowed in the park per the posted rules, but enforcement is selective. Everybody who shows up is usually very friendly and there are normally plenty of other dogs for yours to play with! The fact that they have separate fenced parks for the smaller dogs is also nice.

Best place for cycling

Basic park for kids and dogs clean

Beautiful at sunset.

Its a nice lake but oklahoma hasnt figured out swimming in a lake doesnt change the drinking water as much as gas boats all states allow swimming in the lakes most dont allow motor boats due to gas and oil contaminating drinking water no wonder water here always tastes so bad i love the lake but really a lake is for swimming and enjoying with your kids what good is it to go here over just a park where i can do exactly same thing barbeque waste of a drive to any lake in okc
