Unpredictable rain chances caused the event to be moved into the Multi-Purpose Center, but everyone still had a great time! 215 people entered for prize drawings. We served around 192 hot dogs,200 snow cones and hosted 13 activity booths. 5 bicycles, 3 scooters, two folding chairs, three camping tents and gear, sports balls, and yard games were given away as prizes to the attendees! Thank you to everyone who participated!
Purcell's 3rd Annual Walk the Trail Day
June 3rd, 2023 Purcell Lake Trail 1400 Chandler Road Purcell, OK 73080 10:30am to 1:30pm
Walk the Trail Day is an event coordinated between the City of Purcell Parks & Recreation Department and the Heart of Oklahoma Chamber of Commerce and joined by many different businesses and organizations in the Purcell community to celebrate the American Hiking Society's National Trails Day event. In 2021, the city and chamber teamed up to host an event that would highlight our lake and new trail system, get families outside and exercising, while also providing a completely free experience. The event was so successful, it only makes sense to make it an annual event!
We had planned to host the grand opening of the Rotary Playground on the same day as our Walk the Trail Day celebration. But due to much-needed rainfall, we will be pushing back our grand opening to a later date. Rotary Playground Replacement Project
