Great park but definitely need some shade cover over the playground. Get super hot, if i dont want to be under the heat, sure dont want my kid out there cooking and playing at the same time.

This is our favorite park in Lawton. Not for the park itself, which looks nice and wide open, has a few covered areas, and public restrooms. We’ve never made it to that section, because we can not get beyond the most amazing play structure I’ve ever seen. Made of wood, multi leveled, filled with twists and turns and shoots and ladders, there is no better place to bring a child than to an area where the can let their imaginations run free. One corner looks like a pirate’s ship. Another area has musical elements built into the wood. The back corner is set up like a western town. There are swings and slides, and benches for the adults. Trees provide shade in a few spots, and the entire playground is within a walled area, keeping kids safe from the nearby parking lot. There is only one small problem with this park. It is tucked away on a street that gets little traffic, and so is not seen by people driving nearby. Because of this sad fact, it is underutilized. There simply aren’t enough children to fill the play structure. It isn’t easy to captain a ship by oneself, one needs a crew! Castle raids need armies! Covert missions need teams. I tell everyone I know about this wonderful park. My child is just a bit too old to truly immerse himself in this amazing land of make believe, but the right group of kids would bring this place to life! Greer park is on 38th Street, between Cache and Gore. It is almost, not quite, across the street from Jimmy’s Egg. If I had younger children, I would spend all of my weekends at this playground, listening to them create the world around them.

I live close to Greer Park and have driven by countless times. When my nephews(ages 5 and 7) were in town, we headed over to check it out. It was during Lawton Public School’s Spring Break, so it was a little crowded. There was still plenty of room for the adults to sit on benches to watch and for the kids to play. Unfortunately, a lot of parks and recreation facilities have been on the budget chopping block. However, this is a very nice, well maintained park for kids of various ages. It «felt» safe and had a fun maze, playground and swings. I have friends who frequently take their kids to play at Greer Park. Well done — Lawton!
