Martin Park Nature Center

This place is great and so much fun my kids really enjoyed it We saw turtles, squirrels, deer, fish, and plenty of bugs. There are porta pottys but they were pretty clean and the playground is a big plus!

A touch of nature in busy, dirty, Oklahoma City! Pop in to the small building with live animals and taxidermied ones. Gorgeous trails and water!

Park playground a 5 star.Also the scenery and layout a 5 star.Short 15 min drive from the house.Felt safe out there. Geese walked up a couple of times and ducks landed on the pond. The girls liked the telescopes... One didn't work.There zero people at the park and several on the trails on the day we went. I was sad to see Porta potties ...but they were clean so there's that. Also Porta potties don't have sanitizer in them .... UnfortunateWill try to get out here again sometime... The girls loved the time spent.Respectfully,BryanYukon, Oklahoma

Martin Park looked beautiful in the fall! Smaller park but lots of wildlife. They have an information center and you can see some of their wildlife and also pet some snakes hehe. It does not have a paved trail so it feels more like a hike in the wilderness.

Very cool park. Great playground for kids. Very nicely maintained pathways to walk or run. Nice observation deck to look at the turtles, geese, ducks, fish, etc.

This place is a little paradise in Oklahoma. When you're here you can disappear into the beauty of nature and they have some gorgeous views throughout the park. The rangers are helpful and friendly and they take great care of the park. I highly recommend Martin Nature Center and I'm grateful that we have a place like this.

Beautiful place to visit. Different paths to walk and easy for everyone. They do have a short path that is ADA accessible and I love that they thought about that. The visitor center was pretty cool too. There is a playground and a picnic area too. If we had more time, we would definitely have explored more but must visit if you'd like to be out in nature and great for kids!

Loved the hiking trails, creek and pond. Very relaxing and plenty of parking. If you looking for an easy to access place to get outdoors check out Martin Park.

Great nature station with a few exhibits and live animals to view. The Center also has a schedule for numerous different outdoor events, hikes, children events, animal viewings, and other nature classes. Writes fellow Yelper Clarissa S., "Several bird blinds are scattered along the trails, but they certainly aren't required for viewing. Sit on a convenient, shady bench. Climb up into that tree house fort. Rest on the creekside sandstone. Enjoy the show."

We absolutely loved it here. Covid was in full swing when we went in June 2020, but we were able to keep distance and wore a mask when necessary. The male employee in the little nature center just across the bridge was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They had barriers set up so we were not able to touch the glass, a sign in to track those who came in, Incase anyone reported a positive covid test. They also had hand sanitizer throughout. The trail was beautiful. Our favorite part was wading in the water. There were daycares/day camps all over but, we managed. We avoided the playground and picnic areas as they were over crowded with the kiddos. There is a lot of parking available. We even saw some deer in the trail and turtles swimming under the bridge.
