Lions Memorial Park

A Green Getaway in Norman

Right next to S Flood Avenue in Norman, Oklahoma, Lions Memorial Park offers a refreshing 10.5-acre escape from the everyday hustle. It's a convenient spot for spending quality time outdoors without venturing far from home.

With its expansive grassy areas, you'll come across plenty of space for impromptu frisbee games or spreading out a picnic blanket on a sunny afternoon. The park's mature trees cast welcome shadows across the grounds - a blessing during those sweltering Oklahoma summer days when shade becomes your best friend.

Get Moving or Just Relax

Feeling active? The park's winding jogging path invites you to lace up your sneakers for anything from a brisk morning walk to a full training session. Tennis enthusiasts will appreciate the lighted courts that extend playing hours past sunset, while baseball and softball players can practice their skills at the backstops.

Kids have their own domain here too - a well-kept playground provides a fantastic outlet for little ones to climb, slide, and burn off energy while parents catch their breath on nearby benches.

Take Cover and Take a Break

The park's gazebo and shelter building offer perfect spots to regroup during your outdoor adventures. Whether you're hosting a small family gathering or just need a moment in the shade with a good book, these structures provide welcome refuge from the elements.

Need a pit stop? Restrooms are available from April through October, and depending on weather conditions, from November through March as well.

Throughout the Seasons

The park transforms throughout the seasons - from summer picnic spot to autumn walking destination - while remaining a constant in neighborhood life.

A word of caution: you might want to stick to the paved paths around the ball field areas, as sand burrs occasionally make appearances in the grass. Your feet (and your dog's paws) will thank you.
