by Visit Edmond
Experience life unplugged. From pristine sports facilities to wide open green spaces, Edmond encourages the importance of play.
A suburban oasis, Hafer Park is located in the center of Edmond off Bryant, between 2nd and 15th. Complete with multipurpose trails, covered pavilions, an adjacent baseball complex, performance stage, a pond and top-notch playgrounds, the park is perfect for picnics that linger, exercise and playdates.
Fink Park is one of Edmond’s oldest parks, split in two by a creek and Fink Park Trail that leads to Hafer Park. North Fink Park has a pavilion and is a great place to park and enjoy the trail. Go down the hill and cross the bridge over the creek to find beautiful red rocks, perfect for free climbing and spotting creek and small forest creatures. Up the hill is where Fink Park South sits. This park features a colorful play structure, swings and pavilion. Fink Park is just east of Rankin and can be accessed off 2nd street or Park Place.
Mitch Park is a spacious recreational area off Covell between Santa Fe and Kelly. The park offers endless opportunities for adventure with accessible playgrounds, an amphitheatre, programming and classes in the Multipurpose Activity Center, a volleyball court and disc golf course, the Mathis Skate Park, multi-use trails and plenty of space to explore.
Stephenson Park, located off 5th and Littler, is home to the historic Rocket Ship slide, pavilion, playground, tennis, pickleball and basketball courts. Exciting updates and improvements coming soon!
Bickham Rudkin Park, off 33rd between Boulevard and Bryant, invites all visitors, four-legged included. Dogs of all shapes, colors, and sizes can be seen at the dog park. Follow the trail and wind your way through a pollinator garden and well-populated fishing pond that serves as home to turtles and a variety of wild birds.
You’ll soon come upon the Whispering Heights Park, a favorite of locals with playgrounds, basketball and tennis courts. Beyond the park, you’ll find yourself surrounded by beautiful trees, large and small, in the Margaret Annis Boys Centennial Arboretum. This trail connects to Oklahoma Christian University’s Eagle Trail.
