What to Do

No matter what you choose to do at the new downtown park, you’re bound to have a good time. Scissortail Park is open from 6 am-11 pm daily, with the Children’s Park area closing at dusk. The park will feature a plethora of native prairie grasses, lush flower gardens and tree-lined walkways, so explore all the foliage by taking a stroll through the 40-acre park. For adventure seekers, head to the boathouse on Scissortail Lake to rent pedal boats or catch a concert on the Great Lawn at the six-acre outdoor venue. The boathouse includes a concession stand for grab-and-go food, public restrooms and a large shaded patio. Guests can rent pedal boats, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards on the 3.7-acre lake. The Love’s Travel Stops Stage will host a variety of concerts throughout the year, holding up to 15,000 people on the Great Lawn.

Pack a bite to eat and head to the picnic grove for a scenic, shaded lunch. Next to the picnic grove is the interactive fountains and children’s playground that includes a net lens, geometric dome climbers, children’s gardens and a large fort with a tower and slides. There’s something for everyone at Scissortail Park, including dogs. The dog park is located on the southwest corner of the park, just south of Scissortail Lake. 

With an additional 30-acres of the park opening in 2022 and many more activities to come, this only scratches the surface of all there is to see and do at Scissortail Park.
