Scissortail Park — Attraction in Oklahoma City

Well.. I wasn't aware of where I ended up. Just some random park. I was just looking for a spot by a river with trees, so I could mushroom hunt. The park wasn't bad, it's nice. Probably be a lot cooler if I was a lot younger lol. They have a skate park which is awesome. But when I went by the tree line.. I was greeted by a dog. It wasn't happy about me being near it's home I'm sure. It didn't attack me.. Lucky for it. But the owner called it back, a little too late if you ask me. But nevertheless it didn't attack, I didn't have to regulate on it. I would have probably felt bad, but I'm also not going to willingly get bit. It was owned by a homeless person. Cops should probably look into that. The area was trashed out. You can be homeless & not trashy as all get out, js. It's a park, I'm sure they have trash cans. & please go somewhere where there isn't children hanging out.. & please stop owning animals when you can't even support yourself. I ended up leaving because it wasn't prime mushroom territory lol. I went up the street about an eighth of a mile & found some mullin & wild onion/garlic. I'm pretty...

This is a top-tier inner city park. The park is well maintained and there are staff visible throughout the day doing groundskeeping and generally keeping an eye on the activities.

The two sections of park are connected by a footbridge that goes over I-40. There are a few food options to choose from. They’re mediocre at best and not cheap but not really expensive. There are often food trucks that will rent slots along S Robinson Ave that offer a few...

Unfortunately due to a bad experience with security, I no longer feel safe here. Just driving by gives me terrible anxiety and makes me sad because for 4 years straight I walked all over this park everyday.... 😞 UPDATE: It's been 8 months since writing this review and I'm just shocked that my anxiety is still over whelming when seeing this park. I watched workers form this beautiful park from the beginning when there were no street lights on a very sketchy street that ran right through this park just a few years ago... Still just sad that two "security guards" could ruin all this park meant to me and my sense of safety and no one gives a damn. Especially the park...
