We haven't taken advantage of some of the events, like the Christmas light show, but it is enjoyable to walk through the park and watch the prairie dogs (at least the ones the city hasn't killed off yet). We also enjoy sitting near the pond, as there usually are many birds to watch.

Beautiful and always clean. Love to go and feed the ducks and also exercise. For Christmas they always put a lot or lights and decorations and they also have a lot of activity during the year.

We lived in Lawton over 10 years ago, and were pleasantly surprised to see they still have the wonderful Christmas lights display set up at the park! We loved bringing our daughter here when she was younger, and were thinking of bringing our other two later on our trip. The play equipment appeared to be well taken care of, and the pond is usually full of geese which are fun to watch.

We were not able to stay for the entire submarine race. But we were able to collect a good number of photographs of the prairie dogs.

We were in town for a graduation and stayed at a hotel near this park. It was nice to travel thru at night and see the partially lit Christmas decorations as we had left town before able to view the fully lit displays following the Christmas parade. The playground featured slides, bridges, climbing walls, swings for all ages - even the adults had fun. We were happy the weather cooperated one afternoon so our families could enjoy this awesome playground.

Great place for a nature walk, in town! During the summer, go in the morning, or in the evening. Simply too hot otherwise. I walk my dogs every morning out there!

During December the park is all decked out for Christmas! There are walking trails, playgrounds and picnic areas all year round.

This park was right across from my hotel. I walked over and spent some time walking around. This is a historic area with lots of Indian history and very close to Fort Sill, Oklahoma's oldest fort.
