Fuqua Park is a large park located along US 81 in the middle of Duncan. You cannot, however, enter off of the highway. The main entrance is now on W. Beech Ave.
The playground is immediately to the right when you enter the park. The playground itself is not terribly large. It is mainly composed of one of those hard plastic interconnected slides-jungle gymn-swing sets that you typically see at restaurants. Right next to the playground, however, is the Kiwanis Kiddieland which is one of the park's crown jewels. Kiddieland is a child-sized amusement park with a merry-go-round, toy train that takes them on rides around the park, etc. Kiddieland is open in the evenings starting at 7:00 p.m., Thursday through Sunday, except in inclement weather.
Additionally, the park has lots of grass and trees, a large picnic gazebo, a picnic pavilion topped by a real oil drilling rig, two museums, a full-sized engine which children can climb on, and a small pond with waterfall.
The park is incredibly clean and very family friendly. Kiddieland can be rented out for special occasions.
