Heavener Runestone Park (pronounced /ˈhiːvnər/) is a 55-acre (220,000 m2) park located in Le Flore County, Oklahoma near the city of Heavener, Oklahoma.[1] Formerly a state park of Oklahoma, it was transferred to the City of Heavener in 2011, and is now operated by the Friends of Heavener Runestone, a non-profit organization. The Festival held at the park on two weekends a year serves as a fundraiser for operating and maintaining the park.
Opened in 1970, the park has been erected around the Heavener Runestone, a rock found in 1923. The stone is located on Poteau Mountain just outside the town's limits in the scrub-forest foothills of the Ouachita Mountains.
