Former state parks[edit]

In 2011, the state of Oklahoma announced that it would close seven of these parks, as part of a budget-cutting measure. Instead, other entities took over the named facilities. Would it be useful to move them to a separate table of former parks on the same page? Bruin2 (talk) 15:04, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

2017 List of park closures[edit]

In March 2017, the Oklahoma Department of Tourism and Recreation published a list of 16 state parks that may be closed to help offset a reduction in its budget for 2018. This list represents approximately one-half of the parks remaining after the department closed seven parks in 2011.^[1]Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
