He was extremely patient with our group and answered a ton of questions! We then got to watch the blue dart frogs get fed along with a shirt presentation and Q&A session.

Outside is where we had SO much fun! You get to feed some of the animals! Food is $1 for a small cup. We bought a bunch! First you feed the turtles. We had so much fun, we forgot to film it! Next we fed the quail. I guess they are used to it, cause they came right to us. The coyote and bobcat were sleeping hard in the heat. The river otters were hilarious! They were having so much fun! Last was the bird named Simon. They said he talked a LOT, but was very shy around people. He did whistle a few times for us. This was well worth a visit, and we would go back just to feed the animals!

Elmer Thomas Park in Lawton, OK is not the most fascinating park ever…read more It was good enough for us back on July 26, 2025. My dog certainly appreciated it. We didn't stay here super long as I started getting anxious about the long drive back home. It's a public park. Free parking. There was a playground. A decent sized lake. Walking/running path. I stopped here mainly because the Comanche National Museum and Cultural Center is just a few hundred yards away. Go touch grass! Your brain and heart will thank you.

Some are tiny and others quite large, however each is a place set aside for the community. Gray Warr is actually a decent sized area. The boot camp I attend is occasionally held here. There are some run down softball fields, tennis courts and a small playground. The grounds are maintained and it serves its purpose as a safe recreation area for individuals, children or families. It is A-OK!

This is an absolutely reworked park. I used to worry about bringing the kids here because it was…read moregorgeous and made all out of wood, but it was hard to keep an eye on them. It had gotten rundown after all wood only last so long. They voted to refurbished the park and this is what they ended up with. This is nice as well almost as nice lake Helen Park. I love all of the seating, has canopies over it for people to sit and they've got all kinds of equipment. The kids can play on climb on and explore. Young kids to old people are hanging out here. It's for everyone. There's just so much nice wide open room that you don't feel crowded here there's trash cans by everything where you could throw your trash away after you're done snacking or drinking or whatever you happen to be doing at the time but the nice thing about the Kidzone is it so wide open you can see everything now I cannot wait until summer to see how the little miniature splash pad is. They also have the tennis courts and a basketball goal for you to play basketball.

This is our favorite park in Lawton. Not for the park itself, which looks nice and wide open, has…read morea few covered areas, and public restrooms. We've never made it to that section, because we can not get beyond the most amazing play structure I've ever seen. Made of wood, multi leveled, filled with twists and turns and shoots and ladders, there is no better place to bring a child than to an area where the can let their imaginations run free. One corner looks like a pirate's ship. Another area has musical elements built into the wood. The back corner is set up like a western town. There are swings and slides, and benches for the adults. Trees provide shade in a few spots, and the entire playground is within a walled area, keeping kids safe from the nearby parking lot. There is only one small problem with this park. It is tucked away on a street that gets little traffic, and so is not seen by people driving nearby. Because of this sad fact, it is underutilized. There simply aren't enough children to fill the play structure. It isn't easy to captain a ship by oneself, one needs a crew! Castle raids need armies! Covert missions need teams. I tell everyone I know about this wonderful park. My child is just a bit too old to truly immerse himself in this amazing land of make believe, but the right group of kids would bring this place to life! Greer park is on 38th Street, between Cache and Gore. It is almost, not quite, across the street from Jimmy's Egg. If I had younger children, I would spend all of my weekends at this playground, listening to them create the world around them.

I maybe expected it to have grown in size or nicer surroundings. It's still pretty much a big field. Animals that they have are good.

Update, we all ended up with a stomach bug the day after. Just please take hand wipes and then wash in restroom as leaving.
