What to Know
The administrative office is closed weekends, so plan accordingly if you need facility information. Parking is available on-site, and it's free to use the open spaces for casual recreation when not reserved for organized sports.
Seasonal Notes
Best enjoyed during spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) when Oklahoma temperatures are mild. Summer visits should be scheduled for early morning or evening to avoid extreme heat. Fields may be less accessible during winter months, and organized youth sports seasons typically run spring through fall.
