Sapulpa’s Parks

Activities for all ages, abilities and interests

Sapulpa may be classified as a mid-size community, but it has big city recreational opportunities and activities for citizens and visitors of all ages—even the four-legged kind.

For example, under the category of true inclusiveness, Sapulpa boasts of “Wiggly Field.” A Dog Park in centrally-located Kelly Lane Park. In regard to being open to all, Liberty Park is the home of Sapulpa’s inclusive playground that includes solid safety surfacing and ramp access, inclusive swings, sensory equipment, and areas for specific age groups.

For a myriad of activities, Kelly Lane is also Sapulpa’s flagship destination with fishing in its pond, disc golf, outdoor fitness equipment, and even an escape from the urban environment into the woods right in the middle of town. Another popular feature allows parents to easily watch their children while they enjoy playground equipment and the skatepark.

For those seeking more vigorous activities, visit Liberty Park with sand volleyball, disc golf, a half-mile paved walking trail, and lighted courts for basketball, tennis and the new recreational rage: pickleball. And if all these summertime pursuits warm one up, cool off at the Sapulpa Aquatic Center. Open from Memorial Day weekend to early August, the Aquatic Center has a zero entry with a large shallow area, slides and spray fountains. It also offers swim lessons, hosts birthday parties and can be rented for private events.

Other parks and their claims to park and recreation fame include:

Heritage Park, which was designed by Sapulpa elementary students and built by community volunteers. Davis Park, which invites children to do a little creek stompin’.

Hollier Park, the site of the best views in Creek County for quiet contemplation.

Bartlett Youth Sports Complex that hosts baseball, soccer, and football contests.

Booker T. Washington Recreational Center and Sapulpa Senior Citizen Community Center which have indoor facilities.

But there’s more: for the true outdoor enthusiast visits to Lake Sahoma and Pretty Water, only ten minutes from downtown, are a must. Pretty Water is stocked by Sapulpa Parks with trout in the winter, and catfish in the summer. The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife stocks

Lake Sahoma with a variety of fish. Anglers land from bass to crappie, and catfish to perch, with the right “hook, line and sinker”, or lure.

Lake Sahoma also offers RV and tent camping, an indoor heated fishing dock and easy access for fishing boats, kayaks and canoes. The Lake Sahoma Bait Shop is stocked with lures, minnows and snacks for a day at the lake. City and state fishing licenses are required for both Sahoma and Pretty Water.

Ready for more activity? Don’t miss the Rock Creek Golf Course—a challenging but friendly track. Call the pro shop for tee times and more information, (918) 224-0237.

Sapulpa is also proud of the Salvation Army Community Center on South Hickory. This major community asset includes a weight room, walking track, indoor pool, basketball court and a general recreational room, as well as church services.

There’s no reason to be a couch potato in Sapulpa with all of its big city parks and recreational opportunities.
