If you want to enjoy the best summer activities in Sallisaw, OK, look no further. We’ll be marking our calendar with these four great local ways to spend a day.
1. Disc Golf at Jay Reynolds Park
Sallisaw introduced this grass-terrain 18-hole disc golf course in 2015. More than 5,200 feet long, the Jay Reynolds Park course provides a challenging experience with eight holes longer than 300 feet. You can come to play with a group of friends or even reserve the course for a larger tournament.
The course is located at the corner of South Opdyke Street and East Iola Avenue in Sallisaw. It’s open seven days a week from dawn to dusk. Jay Reynolds Park also features a picnic pavilion, a walking trail, and a playground.
2. Diamond Daze Festival
This year, the annual Diamond Daze Festival is scheduled for June 1 in downtown Sallisaw. This fun community event includes carnival rides, games, vendors, live country music, and much more. You can watch or even compete in the festival’s Battle of the Bands, steak grilling contest, or 5K run. A car show, kids’ activities, and helicopter rides round out the offerings at this town-wide celebration.
3. Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge
Spend the day at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge to take advantage of this natural area’s birding, boating, hiking, hunting, and fishing.
