This is a perfect little place to bring the family. Something for everyone really. A park with all your favorites, merry go round, teeter trotter, slides, swings. There's places to eat or have get togethers. The water is typically low enough for all to splash around in but if it's rained recently be sure to check the water before letting the kids go near it. It rises and flows quickly after a good rain! What's super cool about Schermerhorn is at the top of the stairs they have an educational center filled with live and preserved animals, skins and shells. Plenty of pamphlets and books. Tons of hands on learning there. Follow them on Facebook to see their upcoming events!

This is a wonderful park! Plenty of places to picnic or enjoy a quiet afternoon with your family. They have amazing bluffs that are easy to get to (if you're ok with a little 5 minute hike here and there), the water is clean and shallow. There are a lot of fossils and cool rock walls as well!! I'm definitely making this one of my weekly trips because there's not enough daylight to see everything in one day!!

We love bringing our grandkids here. Lots of stuff to play on, there's a creek to swim. You can hike on a nature trail, visit the conservation place they have. During the summer you can learn a lot about animals. You also get to pet and help feed them sometimes. It's so much fun for the whole family! There's even a cave you can visit and lots of picnic areas. We have a family reunion there every year.

A great little park with a surprising amount to do. Schermerhorn Park is located along Shoal Creek, and boy was it fun. There are a couple nature trails (one leads to a beautiful little cave)! A Nature center, swimming at the creek and lots of picnic areas with grills. We walked to the caves, swam and grilled up some brats. It was a great day, best of all totally free!

I heard about this place, And since I'm from Tulsa I definitely had to check this out. It was absolutely beautiful, pretty water, seems very family friendly. Definitely need to bring lake shoes or water shoes for the slippery rocks. Definitely recommend going here for a family event, or just with friends to have a good time. Absolutely gorgeous views.

Amazing nature area. People at the nature center are nice and the views at the cave are phenomenal. If youâre looking for the cave, when you enter the area go left on the blacktop and follow it to the roundabout. Go on foot from there on the lower trail to the right across the stream and youâll see it about 100-200 feet down the trail.
