A nice shady and safe playground for all ages. We always do a walk around the Bluff Creek trail first, and then playground after. Picnic lunches are easy to pull off with tables aplenty.

By far one of our favorite spots for a beautiful day! Opportunities for big and small kids to play. From an assortment of slides, balancing activities, to even musical instruments. This park has it all. There is covered picnic areas, restrooms as well as plenty of shade.

Dirty, trash everywhere. Didnt seem like the trash had been emptied in days. Im not likely to return to that park again.

This is a wonderful park for the entire family! There are separate play structures. One is for children ages 2 to 5 The other is for ages 5 to 12. They also have a wonderful percussion music section which is basically indestructible. There are four swings, two for babies and two for older kids. There are a couple covered picnic tables as well as a few more stone picnic tables out in the open. There are multiple benches to sit and watch your children play.Theres good parking with a couple of handicap spots as well as a bicycle repair stand. There are automatic lights that light up the parking lot, but not the playground itself. The playground is wheelchair accessible, but the equipment is not. There is also an open field next to the park where people play cricket and other sports.There are no public restrooms.

Fun playground with two different size climbers. One for big kids and a smaller one for small children. Swings for older and younger kids. Walking trail that is paved and mountain bike trails in the forest with streams and a pond. Great area, beautiful all times of the year. They also have a couple of porta potties.

Nice little playground. A little too close to the road for my comfort but the kids loved it.

This particular Park is a golden nugget of parks in Oklahoma City.its great for your kid to run around and play. Lots of adults and lots of kids makes for a safe place. I would vouch to say that this park is better than the new scissortail park that just opened downtown. I went to the new park downtown and noticed how dilapidated already looked when it had only been open for three days. The signs that would direct people wear to go had already been falling down.

I love the musical bells and xylophone. There are also baby swings, but always in use.

Review №22

Clean, safe and relatively well maintained grounds. Great equipment for the kids to play on. My 6yo daughter and I both really enjoy play time here. Shady areas when it’s quite hot and lots of trees with a tranquil atmosphere. Have not traversed the trails much however they appear scenic and a plentiful supply of them. It would be a tremendous benefit to have actual bathroom facilities rather than really awful port-o-lets... aside from that I give it an A. Cheers...

Great atmosphere! Great playground equipment, and fantastic rubber flooring in the playground areas. People are kind and friendly. Good shade and picnics shelter. However theres not a water fountain, and the rest room are the portable potty kind.

Review №25

Very fun and clean. Great addition to the trails having music equipment next to the play place. Swings, slides and playground equipment all on very squishy padded foam. I would take my family again and frequent if i we were locals. Free and plenty of pet clean up areas. Bathroom facilities on site. Vey safe and fun environment. Huge grass available for sports or picnics.

After the renovation, its a pretty nice park. Nice soft rubber ground that isnt messy. There is a decent Porter potty close. Separated paly areas according to age. There is a trail near by and sidewalks.

Found this park for the first time simply because I was driving down north Hefner drive. Great little park. Doesnt seem like to many people know about it. Brand new equipment and some musical type things. Will return. My only complaint, as is with most parks, why cant we put in water fountains? Or a bottle refill type deal. Other than that 10/10

Great Park with lots of picnic areas, playgrounds and walking trails. The playgrounds have a musical percussion area for a group of children to create music with drums, bingo and xylophone. The trails are both short and long distances. A couple of large crossed areas for playing groups games or just flying kites.

Wonderful park in the middle of the city. And right next to Bluff Creek trails. The playground is newer and had something for big kids and little. Plus outdoor instruments that are fun. Pokemon hunting is good here as well with several gyms and stops around.

I wish they had a few more benches for people and maybe some shaded benches. Not the one for eating at and what not. But it would be nice if kiddos got too hot. But It was ok

Review №53

The park is a good park for anyone. The park is clean, and easily accessible.The playground: My wife likes it because its size makes it easy for her to keep track of our kids. With the addition of the new area, there seems to be enough to keep my kids 3,3,&7 entertained. Parent seating however is limited to a few benches and a cement retaining wall.(They totally have a roller alike like discovery zone used to!)Trails: Most of the walking/running trails are concrete with wide paths. The one that are not are also cleared well.Biking trails look challenging but I have not ridden them.The fitness areas are in good shape, and do a good job explaining how to use them. Easily accessed.

On the North end of the Bluff are Mt bike trails. These trails have lots of roots and small drops. IMO its a more difficult Novice or potentially intermediate 1 (out of 5)

It is on the Small side, but it is right next to Bluff Creek which makes it an easy stop for the kids after a ride, walk, run, or flying a kite in the field
