Confirmed from Michael J. Hunter Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Popular park featuring a splash pad and a playground.
What runners say about Michael J. Hunter Park
“Everything was very clean and there were many kids there, but it didn't feel crowded at all!”
“There is plenty of shade for parents and the bathrooms are very accessible.”
The splash pad is perfect for smaller children! The jets are very gentle. There is plenty of shade for parents and the bathrooms are very accessible. I was extremely impressed with the layout. This is the best splash pad in McAlester.
It's nice for the area it's in. I like it has many thing to do. Basketball, pool, swings, play ground, walking track, softball field, but it needs be updated a lil. Love it tho .
Small and cozy park with a walking trail. The kids love playing there, always come home happy and that's what counts.
