Plays in the Park - Three Billy Goats Gruff

The grass always seems to be greener on the other side of the bridge, well that’s what Momma, Papa, and Baby Goat all believe. The only problem is, there is a hungry troll that lives under the bridge and he wants to know who is trap-topping over HIS bridge! All of these plays will be held at Will Rogers Park with ample shade and space for social distancing. We encourage families to park in the North-East parking lot, on the corner of NW 36th and Grand Blvd. Sponsored by Greater Oklahoma City Parks and Trails Foundation and Oklahoma City Community Foundation.
