[QUOTE="Bhargrin, post: 2220647, member: 30377"] Eagle park was the dream of Hubert Woesner and sister Cathy Woesner ( not sure of spelling on the last name). Cathy married Wayne Gibson who worked with Hubert to build the park. Wayne Gibson had a heart attack in the early 80s and fell off the roller coaster he was assembling and died. Following Wayne Gibsons death there was an issue with insurance and the park closed. Only the trading post remains open today. Most of the farmers meet there in the mornings for coffee. I know this as my father in law goes there every morning. Yes, I married a Cache girl who was in littleWayne Gidson's class, (Wayne Gibson's son). The old western town was on the South side of the park. The rodeo arena was on the north side of the park. The rides were spread out between the two areas. The reptile house was on the northeast side close to the rodeo arena. The movie "Charge of the model Ts" and several commercials were shot in Eagle park back in the day. I also remember the skating rink I had many dates there in my youth. I drive by there at least twice a week. It is a shame that such an iconic site from our past is slowly rotting away. Eagle Park is located south of the Cache turn off from highway 62. The other area mentioned is Camp eagle, which is north several miles when heading into the refuge. My wife's grandfather (last name of Hoffman) was the caretaker there for many years. It was a military training area for Fort Sill. Camp Eagle is closed to the public. Did you know that when you travel the road (highway 115) into the refuge that the military are shooting artillery over your head. It was the only highway that had a tank crossing. I remember back in the 80s during a night maneuver a tank was crossing the highway when a car slammed into it. The occupants of the car all perished. So many memories, now I feel old...lol My father was first infantry division 2/18 Infantry Viet Nam 65-66, firebase Bearcat. He was laid to rest in the Fort Sill National cemetery. Fathers, a boys first hero. I am glad all of you chimed in, feels good to hear from others who all shared the same stomping ground where I grew up. In addition, we all share the same interests in life. [/QUOTE]
