On Earth Day 2024, all parking fees will be waived at Oklahoma State Parks.
Head to one of Oklahoma's state parks to celebrate Earth Day, an annual event held in support of environmental protection, this April. Five participating parks, including Bernice Area at Grand Lake State Park, Great Plains State Park, Keystone State Park, Lake Eufaula State Park and Sequoyah State Park will host an afternoon of eco-friendly activities in celebration of the environmental holiday. Join in a park clean-up, craft a seed bomb or learn how you can be more eco-conscious during a talk given by park staff. After the celebration, stick around to enjoy all that Oklahoma State Parks have to offer.
