Honor Heights Park

Honor Heights Park is such a blessing to us. When we moved to Muskogee, we knew nothing about the town. The Lord has put us in a wonderful neighborhood that is just down the hill from Honor Heights Park. We are able to drive there, or better yet, to walk to the park. If we walk, we can go down into the park via a very steep sandstone stairway. It goes beside a waterfall. Going back up, at first, was done with about 4 stops to rest up. Now we can do it with only 1 stop (sometimes 2). Here is a picture at the bottom of the first part of the waterfall on the road that leads down into the park. (Click the picture for a bigger view.) Judy is at the bottom of the picture.

In this next picture, Judy is about 1/3 of the way up.

The part I have shown you in the first picture is about 1/3 of the entire stairway. It literally goes down to the bottom level of the park. Come walk it with us sometime.

In this picture, Judy is setting on a bridge (The George Washington Memorial Bridge), that is along the waterfall and one of the many pools it fills. The terrain in the background is about 1/2 as steep as the upward terrain in the first picture.

Honor Heights Park is known for the beautiful azaleas, dogwoods, red buds, flowering peach and flowering crabapple trees. That says nothing about the marvelous array of flowers everywhere. April is the Azalea month in Muskogee. Every street light pole downtown, and leading up to the park, has a banner on it advertising the azaleas. Each banner is different. Probably over 100 such banners. The picture below highlights some of the earliest dogwood blossoms. In the next few days, the park will simply blaze with color!! Come see us!
