With its wide open green spaces, it’s perfect for a picnic, a casual get-together, or just enjoying the outdoors. Take a stroll (or ride) along the walking and equestrian trails, try your luck at the fishing pond, or let the kids burn off some energy on the playground.

If you’re in the mood for some friendly competition or want to stay active, the park offers a disc golf course, outdoor fitness stations, and horseshoe pits. Planning a special event? We have rental pavilions in different sizes, all with electricity, making it easy to host birthday parties, reunions, or any celebration.

Choctaw Creek Park is also home to Friday Nights in the Park, our seasonal farmers market that runs from May to October. It’s a great way to enjoy local food, live music, and a fun, relaxed community vibe.

Throughout the year, we host special events at the Big Pavilion in the back of the park, including the 4th of July Celebration, Old Timers' Day, The Haunted Hollow & Haunted Trails, The Veterans Day Event, and The Christmas Market.

In addition to city-run events, we welcome outside groups to host their activities here all year long. From the United Scottish Clans of Oklahoma’s Highland Gathering to frisbee golf tournaments, car shows, and horseshoe competitions, there’s always something happening.
