Aquatics
The Family Aquatic Center is the primary destination for Broken Arrow residents who want to get wet, but it’s not the area’s only “swimming hole.” The aquatic center features two large slides, a wading pool and splash pad.

In addition to swimming, Neinhuis Park is also a fine place to do a little fishing. The pond there is stocked with bluegill and catfish. Residents can also enjoy the outdoors at the 40-acre Ray Harral Nature Park, which features numerous trails, a flowering garden and the Ray Harral Nature Center.
Skate Park
Since opening in 2007, Nienhuis Skate Park has been the place to go for skateboarding, cycling and roller skating. The facility is self-regulated and has a surveillance camera.
