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.

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.

We were visiting from out of town and were looking for a dog park for our pup to get her energy out…read moreand had seen this one online. It was not easy to find, a bit hidden off the road. WOW, if we could be any more disappointed, I'd be shocked. For small dogs you have to enter the large dog park FIRST and then go into the smaller one inside. No poop bag stations either- so clearly this was geared towards large dogs. Next- it was the most disgusting dog park- trash EVERYWHERE. Bottles with what looked like human pee in it? I tried to clean up the trash a bit before we let our pup play, but it just was not worth it and didn't want to risk her getting sick from something. I would suggest passing on this park if you are not a regular because clearly this is not maintained well.
