Greater Oklahoma City Parks & Trails Foundation, National Park Service, Oklahoma City Parks & Recreation, Scissortail Park Foundation, OKC Running Club and REI are partnering for the First Day Walk on January 1, 2022 at Scissortail Park. The walk will start at 9 a.m. at the entrance gate on the north side of the park on Oklahoma City Boulevard between Hudson and Robinson.

The event welcomes everyone, including children of all ages and dogs. Dogs must be on a leash for the First Day Walk. We encourage people to wear comfortable shoes and dress in layers for the walk through Scissortail Park.

First Day Walk is a nationwide initiative meant to encourage people to get outdoors. The walk will be led by the National Park Service and Greater Oklahoma City Parks & Trails Foundation staff, and is aimed at inspiring participants to savor the natural beauty of parks and public spaces.
