Jet, Oklahoma (official population 213) was founded by six brothers with surname Jett but the town name has been spelled with one 't' since incorporation in 1900. Built on the homesteads established by these brothers, the town moved two miles west in 1906 to take advantage of a new railroad line.
This small municipal park is named in honor of T.F. "Tex" Wood. It includes a picnic table, a gazebo, a tennis court, and a children's play area with a swing set and teeter-totter. On the southeast corner is a separate park with a veterans memorial, a jet aircraft on display. Between the two parks is a sequence of murals on billboards describing the history of the town.
