I was starting to develope a twitch from the need to be in the woods.
This is just a little patch of woods surrounded by houses and buildings but it still helped me breathe deeper.
I did not want to leave.
The Ray Harral Nature Park is located off 121st(Tucson St) east of Elm.
It is behind the school.
If you use the address from the Broken Arrow site to get directions be sure to use google maps.
The other map sites do not always lead to the park.
First I have to say that I have been horrible about being consistent on here!
I have been trying post once a week and I keeping missing that mark.
My goal in this blog is to share about the parks and places we visit. I have people ask me about different parks and after so many years of visiting any park that looks like fun, I just do not always remember if we have visited one or if I have been wanting to visit!
So this blog is supposed to be my memory for me.
With that being said, I am always astonished when I find something close to home that I have not been using!
The Ray Harral Nature Park in Broken Arrow is practically in my backyard and yet I did not even know about it until last year!
It is a very kid friendly place to walk that still feels like you are surrounded by nature.
The entrance is a little bit hidden by a school but if you know it is there you should not have too much trouble finding it.
Watching a turtle.
If you take the main path in a big loop around the park it is less then a mile.
There are other loops also though so you can add those in and get a little bit of a longer walk.
If you live in Broken Arrow and want an easy walk to take your kids on I highly recommend it!
Located off 121st east of Elm, behind the school.
