Description & Notes
Spooner Park is an expansive park with rolling hills, open space, old oak and cottonwood trees, paved trails, a creek, and a nature play area. There are also three small pavilions with pleasant views… in the event of inclement weather! A variety of spring green colors are anticipated for this paint-out.
Restrooms at the park will likely be closed (unavailable) this early in the year… so painters should plan to take care of business before or after the paint-out. A few commercial businesses are located within one mile of Spooner Park, so that is also an option for a restroom during the event.
Registration
Paint-outs are open to all OPM members and their guests. Participants are not required to register, but it's helpful so we can communicate any last minute changes to locations or weather cancellations. Participants may arrive any time during the duration of the paint-out, but keep in mind that painters will migrate to painting locations once the paint-out begins.
