## About

Scissortail Park is the crown jewel 70-acre urban park connecting downtown Oklahoma City to the Oklahoma River. During the crisp winter season, families gather on the Great Lawn for afternoon strolls, kite flying, and relaxed outdoor recreation. The park features a state-of-the-art children's playground equipped with a massive climbing tower, wide hill slides, swings, and natural boulder scramble areas that keep kids warm through vigorous active play. Smooth paved paths meander around Scissortail Lake, where ducks glide across peaceful waters and pedestrians cross scenic footbridges. When visitors need a warm respite, the climate-controlled Park Pavilion and Spark cafe offer hot drinks, warm snacks, and modern indoor seating with panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass views of the park.

• Stroller Accessibility: Superb accessibility with wide, level concrete promenades, gentle grading, and barrier-free access connecting all park sectors and playground structures.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Modern heated park pavilion features private family restrooms with changing stations, comfortable indoor cafe tables, and numerous sheltered outdoor benches.
• Age Suitability: Fun for all ages; playground includes specialized play zones for toddlers ages 2 to 5 as well as challenging towers for older youth.
• Sensory Tips: Large open greenspace allows children room to roam; park provides a pleasant blend of gentle city skyline views and nature.
