## About

E.C. Hafer Park is one of Edmond's most cherished outdoor destinations, offering 121 acres of wooded parkland, meandering streams, and paved multi-use recreational trails. On crisp winter afternoons, families enjoy walking or biking along more than 1.5 miles of paved pathways that weave through scenic stands of oak and pecan trees alongside Spring Creek. The park's central duck pond attracts mallards, Canadian geese, and wintering songbirds, delighting young children who watch the waterfowl glide across the water. The park boasts multiple play areas, including the expansive Kids World inclusive playground featuring ramps, sensory play elements, swings, and rubberized safety turf where children can run and climb even on chilly winter mornings.

• Stroller Accessibility: Smooth, paved asphalt and concrete trails loop through the entire park, with direct ramped access to playgrounds and picnic pavilions.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Climate-controlled park restrooms with changing tables; numerous covered picnic pavilions and park benches positioned along the duck pond and trail routes.
• Age Suitability: Wonderful for all generations, from infants in strollers to active elementary kids and grandparents.
• Sensory Tips: Calming natural park setting with tranquil sounds of running creek water and bird calls; playground area is bustling during sunny midday hours.
