Crystal Beach Park in Woodward, is a favourite spot throughout the year for picnics, cookouts, fishing, walking, tennis, golf or visiting the ducks. Brand new playground equipment for all ages is available, along with plenty of outdoor cooking areas and now they are building a new water park for fun in the summer heat. 
On Sunday the Hubster and I decided to take advantage of the fabulous weather and have a picnic there ourselves. We sat at the side of the beautiful lake in about 78 degree sunshine and just admired the view, including those infamous Seagulls! 
Crystal Beach is the site of some big local events every year, including the Elks Rodeo for over 70 years and Crystal Christmas, when they light the whole park with Christmas lights. It is a great leisure amenity for the whole town and enjoyed by all of us locally. Double-click to enlarge pictures To join in the fun go to My World Tuesday

ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots Sarah. It's so incredibly dry by the looks.
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures. That looks like a great place to relax. I found you on My World Tuesday and I'm impressed by your story. Met online and moved to Oklahoma? That's love! Good for you. : )
ReplyDeleteA beautiful place to spend a warm afternoon.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place to play backgammon!
ReplyDeleteNice pictures Sarah.
ReplyDeletePretty soon it will be warm enough here for a picnic. Until that time, I'll enjoy your photos.
I LOVE these photos!!! The first and last absolutely take my breath away. The blue, blue sky, the wisps of clouds, the wonderful skeleton trees. Absolutely fantastic!
ReplyDeleteNice spot - my favourite kind to laze in, especially if it is as silent as it looks - I won't mind the seagulls at all though!
ReplyDeleteAh, 78 degrees. I feel warmer just thinking about it. Looks like a wonderful park for an afternoon outing.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a lovely location for a picnic. We too have had weather in the 70's and 80's the past few days, despite the snow last weekend. Severe thunderstorms were forecast today - but didn't happen. Maybe tomorrow. :-)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! There's nothing quite like an Oklahoma sky, is there?
ReplyDeleteWe all love picnics and this place looks fantastic for a picnic. Your photos are amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that baklava and galaktoboureko have the same is the pastry. The baklava has peanuts inside but the galaktoboureko has creme with semolina, eggs, milk, sugar and butter.
I'm starting to get the Oklahoma sky thing! Beautiful place to have a picnic! Life qualitish!
ReplyDeleteNice place for a picnic! 78° sounds kinda warm for March. Don't you wish you could have picnicked in snow and below freezing temperatures? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis really sounds like a perfect day with the Hubster. That's such a beautiful setting.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a rodeo. That looks like a very beautiful spot.
ReplyDeleteEverything is so crystal clear in Crystal Beach! Such a great place.
ReplyDeletethis looks like a fabulous place, lucky you to have a Crystal Beach Park!
ReplyDeleteCrystal Beach Park looks so inviting to me, that I almost fancy myself sitting there and have a picnic! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSarah: It looks like a neat place but the lack of rain sure has browned it out.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place for a relaxing picnic. :)
ReplyDeleteForget scenery. I almost called you when I saw Melissa showed up on Dancing with the Stars!!!! I was rolling knowing what you were thinking about her!!!!! But hey, she did pretty well for 48 hours notice!!!! Hope all is well with you guys.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like the perfect place for a weekend. We had a warm weekend too. Nice to get signs of spring coming. Great shots. I love those big trees.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletestill looks so wintery.
ReplyDeleteIt's so fascinating seeing your photos of Oklahoma. I really had no idea of what it looks like out there on the plains.
ReplyDeleteNice photos! However, I have to admit, although I might like to visit, I'd have a hard time living anywhere that flat!
ReplyDeleteI love those blue, sunny skies!
ReplyDeleteA lovely spot for a picnic! Did you get to people watch? I love watching other people and their pets...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pix, Sarah! Perfect day for a picnic!
ReplyDeleteSo...it was you who introduced that treasure hunting geo thingy to Rob! I can see you enjoying it, too!
