Martin Park Nature Center

Incredible park, playground, trails, and research center for kids and families of all ages. Loved how everything was interactive. My two year old loved everything, especially the bird lookout on the Courage Trail. This will be a go to spot for my family looking to get outside and away from the city for a little bit.

It's a great spot right off the turnpike pike. I didn't know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised about what this place offered in the middle of the city. They have benches throughout the trails if you need them along with educational plaques about wildlife, plans and other things. Go check it out.

Very nice park.. with trails all over... Nice benches overlooking the water and the small water features in the Creek... Wildlife abundant... Support your local parks they're great!

Great place for a walk or to take the kids. We take cat food to feed the turtles and fish. Has a little playground and interactive nature learning building.

I have to come here every time I visit OKC. You can tell they're actively managing and improving the ecology throughout the park. It's great to see OK native plants. The trails are loads of fun to my little boy and me. Of course, the playground, telescopes, viewing platform, and bridges are all big hits!The signs are interesting and informative.

Really love this park! Quite a variety of trails and things to see. They have some signs and markers up so very easy to get around without getting lost. It even has things geared to children so they are entertained, along with neat nature walks for adults and children. Definitely a nice place to spend some time.

A lovely little nature trail tucked right off of Memorial Drive. Once you enter, you forget you’re not in the middle of the woods. A peaceful and easy hike

Wear good walking shoes and if it’s rained lately, prepare to get muddy. This was one of my favorite places to go in and hike. It’s fairly flat and easy to get around. We spent a couple hours inside seeing everything and exploring. Turtles, deer, dragonflies, squirrels and other bugs.

This place was cool. Felt like we were in nature despite being in the middle of the city. Long hiking and jogging trails.

Beautiful Tranquility around every corner and on every path. Truly a blessed environment for both animals & us to share together.

Just beautiful!! Great for pics. Nice trails. So peaceful. Has a nice water area with little water falls. Nice play ground too

A great little hidden treasure in the middle of OKC, we did a guided tour and the park reps were great in educating and entertaining us.

I absolutely love this place. The park rangers and naturalist are always so friendly and educational. You can tell they love their job. They engage with my children and are always excited about what they do. The park is so clean and safe and the wildlife you see are incredible. This place does wonders for education and anxiety. The staff really go above and beyond to make it this way. I always look forward to going back. 🤗💖

It's my favorite place in the city. Right off the highway, but once inside, it feels like you're miles away. There are tons of different routes to take that are all well maintained by the park rangers. There are tons of different wildlife that can be within feet of you. Due to this, though, you are not allowed to bring your dogs for everyone's safety. My absolutely favorite part of this place is the streams, beautiful places to hang out and take pictures, just please don't drink the water as I've seen on more than one occasion. We survived covid, let's not find any new diseases .

I’m here visiting for work from Texas. Needed to stretch my legs outside my hotel gym and found this near my hotel. I was pleasantly surprised with the trails and thoroughly enjoyed wandering them and seeing all the cool stuff. Very well taken care of and put together!

Beautiful park with nice playground, pond, streams, wooded area, trails and nature center. Not sure about dog friendliness since we saw numerous signs posted to keep dogs out. Restrooms in the nature center are clean and spacious. Large pavillion for paying groups. Large parking lot but it's typically full.

Always a nice place to bring children for a fun romp in the playground, and they’ll love the exhibits and hands-on learning in the visitors center. Also a great place to take a quiet walk in the woods to observe turtles, fish, birds of all sorts, and white-tailed deer. Bring and use insect repellent, as the ticks can be bad in the summer. This park is a real asset to OKC!

This location is stunning at any time of year. We were very well taken care of by the staff at the visitor's center. They are knowledgeable and answered our questions about the park's history and the live animals on display. We were awed by the beauty of the river and spotted deer while hiking. We had a great time and plan to return soon. The playground is another favorite hangout for children.

Nice pleasant hiking trails for the whole family. A lot of birds, so bring your binoculars.

We are visiting our daughter and grandchildren and we all decided to visit Martin Park Nature Center. We all loved it. Had so much fun. Loved the beautiful scenery, the water, and all the animals. Recommend it to everyone.
