Wiley Post Park

Riverside Escape

Named after Wiley Post, the legendary Oklahoma pilot who circled the globe in 1931, this 53.2-acre green space along the Oklahoma River blends natural beauty with recreational fun.

The scenic river trails meander alongside the water, ideal for your morning jog, leisurely walk, or bike ride. As part of Oklahoma City's riverfront development, you'll get some pretty impressive views of the city skyline while you're out and about.

Fun for Everyone

The park has plenty of open fields where you can toss a frisbee, kick a soccer ball, or just spread out a blanket for a picnic. Families flock to the recently updated playground, where kids can climb, slide, and play in a safe environment.

When Oklahoma summer heat hits hard, the splashpad becomes the place to be - a welcome relief for sweaty kiddos and adults alike. The outdoor pavilions provide space for family reunions or birthday celebrations.

Get Active

Fancy a game of volleyball? The sand volleyball court next to the pavilion is ready for your next match. Basketball enthusiasts can shoot some hoops at the basketball court without having to reserve a thing.

For those sticking to their fitness routine, the dedicated fitness area offers equipment to help you work up a sweat in the great outdoors. The park also connects to the city's broader trail system, making it a great pit stop if you're exploring the riverfront path that links to attractions like the nearby Scissortail Park.

You'll come across numerous picnic areas scattered within the park, many tucked under shade trees that offer a cool respite from the Oklahoma sun. There's something especially relaxing about enjoying lunch with the sound of the river in the background.

Restroom facilities are available when nature calls. And yes, you can bring your four-legged friends along, but remember to pack some waste bags as they might not be provided on-site.

With its generous space, Wiley Post Park gives you room to breathe and play. Whether you're teaching a little one to ride a bike, meeting friends for a pickup game, or simply looking for a quiet spot to read by the river, this versatile park offers many possibilities.
