Bickham-Rudkin park is one of Edmond's newest city parks, named after former mayor Bob Rudkin and the late David Bickham, founder of the Edmond Parks Foundation. This property used to be a private residence, but a few years ago the city purchased it and developed the land into a city park that includes: dog park next door, pavilion, the largest Xeriscape garden in the state, walking/biking trails, arboretum (south end), large playground for the kids, and a fishing pond. There are port-a-potties by the pavilion, but none by the playground. If you go to the south end of the park (there is parking on both ends), you will be right next door to Whispering Heights Park, which has a small playground, basketball/tennis courts, and picnic tables.
Coordinates posted are for the south end of the park, at the Margaret Annis Boys Arboretum (Smiling Hill Blvd. entrance). This is a great link of the park map, showing the trails and features:
