Lions Park – Dog-Friendly Recreation in Blanchard, Oklahoma
Lions Park is a well-groomed community park in Blanchard, Oklahoma, popular for its shaded walking trails, spacious playgrounds, and relaxed, pet-friendly atmosphere. While not exclusively a dog park, it offers pet owners expansive green areas and shady spots to enjoy quality time with their dogs. Pet-friendly trails and scenic paths with bridges over the creek make it ideal for on-leash strolls with your furry friend.
This park is a local favorite for families and dog owners alike, featuring large and small playgrounds—including a pirate ship playset—and areas with ample tree cover to provide relief during summer outings. Though Lions Park sees community events like the Blanchard Bluegrass Festival and often hosts food trucks and other amenities, dog owners should note that there is no dedicated off-leash or fenced dog area. There are, however, spacious grounds with plenty of walking room for leashed dogs.

Reviews
This would be a nice park if was taken care of. Lots of shade trees. Needs to be mowed and ants were all over the slides we kept getting ants all
Over us and got a few bites Just needs some taken care of
Great park, excellent music!
Shuttle provided.
I don’t know when they took out the baby swings but it was disappointing to see they were gone.
This is a nice park in a great location! My 2 year old and four year old really enjoyed playing here. It has a smaller playground shaped like a pirate ship and a larger playground. It’s shady and has plenty of walking trails with nice bridges over the creek.
The only thing I didn’t like was that there is no playground material on the ground, it’s just dirt and weeds. With there only being dirt, there were a lot of large ant beds in the play areas and the playground equipment is covered in dirt/mud. This is fine for kids but it’d be a lot more enjoyable if the play areas had some kind of ground cover.
This is a well groomed park with several large play structures available. On my visit, it was set up for the annual Blanchard Bluegrass Festival.
Several food trucks were set up to provide drinks and snacks.
