AARP Oklahoma Sponsors Outdoor Experiences at Oklahoma State Parks

Throughout 2025, join AARP Oklahoma-sponsored events and hikes at Oklahoma state parks. Each event offers a different experience as you explore the beautiful outdoors, including AARP Oklahoma Heart Healthy Trails.

AARP Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department (OTRD), which oversees Oklahoma State Parks, are proud to announce the grand opening of the 19th Heart Healthy Trail at Quartz Mountain State Park near Lone Wolf. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held on October 24, celebrating a major milestone in the statewide initiative to promote wellness and accessibility in Oklahoma’s natural spaces.

The Heart Healthy Trails program is a collaborative effort to create paved, fully accessible walking paths in state parks across Oklahoma. These trails are designed to encourage outdoor activity and healthy living for people of all ages and abilities. The new trail at Quartz Mountain State Park continues this mission, offering scenic views and a safe, inclusive environment for recreation.

The public is invited to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which will feature remarks from local leaders and a guided walk along the new trail. To explore the full list of Heart Healthy Trails in Oklahoma State Parks, click here.
