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 70-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. The Lower Park has a focus on space for athletic events and pickup sports, with a soccer field, sports pavilion, pickleball courts, futsal court and two basketball courts.

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.
