The City of Purcell Parks & Recreation Department, in partnership with the Heart of Oklahoma Chamber of Commerce and the Purcell Outreach Committee, announces the debut of a brand-new event: Purcell Lake Day—a celebration of trails, trucks and community spirit!

Taking place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 7, this exciting new event combines the best elements of two long-standing community favorites, Walk the Trail Day and Touch-A-Truck, into one unforgettable experience at beautiful Purcell Lake.

Purcell Lake Day will showcase the lake’s paved multi-use trails and outdoor recreation opportunities, while also offering families the chance to see, touch, and explore a variety of unique vehicles. From hiking and biking to honking and climbing, this event has something for everyone!

The date coincides with several national celebrations, including:

• National Trails Day (American Hiking Society)
• National Play Outside Day
• Butterfly Education Awareness Day
• America the Beautiful Week
• National Oklahoma Day
• Oklahoma Free Fishing Weekend
