The City of Chandler invites you to celebrate the grand opening of McClanahan Park on July 4th! The park is named in honor of Jerry McClanahan, Chandler resident and Route 66 author, artist, historian, and Oklahoma Route 66 Hall of Fame inductee.

The grand opening will take place from 7–9 p.m. and will feature guest speakers, a ribbon cutting, and a free concert by local band RedLand. Attendees will also get to see the park’s 30-foot-tall statue of the 66 Man, a superhero character created by McClanahan. 66 Man merchandise will also be available for purchase. Free shuttle bus service will be provided to transport attendees to and from the park. Full shuttle and parking information will be provided soon.

The fireworks show will still take place at Bell Cow Lake at 10 p.m. There will be no fireworks at the park, and the fireworks at the lake are not visible from the park. Please plan accordingly so you do not miss the show.

Join us as we welcome a new Route 66 attraction to our community!
