From scenic gardens and splash pads to concerts and food trucks, it’s the perfect spot to escape the everyday grind and soak in some fresh air and good vibes.
First things first, let’s talk about the sheer beauty of the park. Scissortail is split into two sections: the Upper Park and the soon-to-be-developed Lower Park, but for now, the Upper Park is where all the magic happens. Whether you’re taking a stroll around the lake or hanging out under the shady trees, every corner of this place is meticulously designed to give you those peaceful nature vibes, right in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City. The boathouse by Scissortail Lake is the perfect spot to rent a pedal boat or kayak and take a peaceful ride on the water. Want to up the relaxation even more? Find a spot on the Great Lawn and just chill. It's the perfect spot for a picnic or a lazy afternoon with friends or family.
Now, if you're rolling with kids, the Children’s Playground is where you want to be. This ain't your average playground—this place is loaded with interactive play structures, climbing nets, and even musical instruments that the little ones can bang on to their hearts' content. Plus, there's a huge splash pad, perfect for cooling off on those hot Oklahoma summer days. It’s fun, it’s safe, and it’s designed to burn off all that excess energy. Feeling hungry after all that play? You’re in luck because Scissortail Park is home to some awesome food trucks that park along Oklahoma City Blvd throughout the week. From classic burgers to creative street food, there’s always something tasty to grab. And if you’re in the mood for something a little more gourmet, check out Spark, the park's very own burger joint, located right by the boathouse at 300 SW 7th St. Their burgers are the stuff of local legend, and they’ve got killer fries and shakes to go with them.
But wait, there’s more—Scissortail Park also plays host to some pretty epic events year-round. If you’re into live music, you're in for a treat. The Love's Travel Stops Stage on the Great Lawn has become a hub for outdoor concerts, with everything from local bands to big-name artists taking the stage. And when it's not concert season, the park hosts farmers' markets, yoga classes, festivals, and so much more. There’s always something going on, so make sure to check out their calendar to see what’s happening during your visit. Beyond the park, you’re in a prime location to explore more of downtown Oklahoma City. Just a short walk away, you’ll find Chesapeake Energy Arena, where the OKC Thunder plays, and Bricktown, one of the coolest entertainment districts in the city, packed with restaurants, bars, and shops. If you’re into art and culture, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art and the Myriad Botanical Gardens are also nearby and worth a visit. Scissortail Park puts you right in the middle of all the action, making it the perfect starting point for your OKC adventures.
