Crystal Beach Park

History

The Park was formed by the damming of artesian well in 1930 by the Works Progress Adminstration. The park was named through a contest with Jay Coombs of Winfield, Kan. submitting the winning name. The park was originally known as Airport Park.

Facilities

The renovated Crystal Beach Stadium offers one of the finest rodeo arenas in Oklahoma and is home to the well-known Woodward Elks Rodeo as well as top high school events and more. To the north is the roundup club arena, which hosts events through the year.

Water Park

The multi-million dollar water park is in its 12th year and operates during the summer months.

Fuller Park

This historic baseball facility was rebuilt from the ground up in 2010. It is home to the Woodward Travelers baseball program and will also host a number of high school baseball events.

Crystal Beach Lake

The lake is stocked each year with trout and attracts a number of especially younger fishermen throughout the year. There are also pedal boats that operate during the summer.

Sports Complex

Across the street from Fuller Park, the sports complex has 5 baseball fields for all ages and just north there is a modern complex of five softball fields, again for all ages from starters to adults.

Municipal Golf Course

Watch for other fun events throughout the year!

The 9-hole course is a popular stopping point for golfers of all ages. Many of Woodward’s top golfers through the years got their start at the course’s youth program. The course opened in the 1950s and some improvements are currently underway.
