T.B. Mutt Miller Park is located on the east side of Wewoka. This is beautiful rolling land, with numerous WPA-constructed items.
This amphitheater is not large, but it met the needs of the Wewoka community in 1939 and the years following. It is a semi-circle, perhaps 40 feet across with four rock tiers, which are deep and low-rise. A stepped rock wall about seven feet high at the center forms a backdrop for the amphitheater. At the front, a six foot diameter circle forms a platform for the speaker or entertainment.
Over the years, this arena has hosted many community activities, and is part of a beautiful park, full of WPA construction - bridges, bathhouse and pool, and picnic facilities.
