Long Description:
Martin Park is one of OKC's hidden treasures. It is an absolutely beautiful area that the whole family will enjoy. You can purchase cat food or bring your own dog or cat food to feed to the giant turtles and catfish. You can stop at the first bridge on the trail and throw the food to the fish and turtles. The 3.5 miles of trails are very well maintained, there is a lookout tower, bird viewing walls, a creek for the kids to play in, and a really cool nature center. One of the gravel trails is wheelchair accessible. Guided tours can be scheduled for $2/person. A variety of classes are offered by the nature center.
The park is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Hours on Wednesdays thru Sundays are 9-6, 51 weeks of the year.
