Proposed park closure in 2018Edit
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. Cherokee Landing State Park is on this list. This list represents approximately one-half of the parks remaining after the department closed seven parks in 2011.
