Honor Heights Park (122 acres) is a botanical garden and arboretum located at North Honor Heights Drive, Muskogee, Oklahoma. It is a public park operated by the City of Muskogee.
In 1909, the City of Muskogee purchased the original 40 acres (160,000 m2) of Honor Heights Park for $4,500. Agency Hill was officially named Honor Heights Park in 1919 in honor of the soldiers of World War I.
Honor Heights Park is known for its azaleas and hosts the annual Azalea Festival each April. It also includes the Conard Rose Garden, the C. Clay Harrell Arboretum, Art Johnson Memorial Dogwood Collection, Elbert L. Little, Jr. Native Tree Collection, floral gardens, white garden, and the Rainbow Division Memorial Amphitheater. It also features three trails: the Henry Bresser Nature Trail, the Audubon Trail, and the half-mile Stem Beach Trail, as well as picnic areas, a shelter, a pavilion, a gazebo, and public restrooms. The park is home to sports areas such as fishing lakes, a playground, open play areas, three tennis courts, and volleyball courts. In the winter, the park becomes the Garden of Lights when the azaleas, with trees and other shrubbery, are covered with over one million lights.
In addition to its gardens, the Five Civilized Tribes Museum within the park preserves the heritage and cultures of the Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole Tribes through an art gallery and extensive displays. It is housed in an 1875 Indian Agency building.

Famous quotes containing the words honor, heights and/or park:
“For most Northerners, Texas is the home of real men. The cowboys, the rednecks, the outspoken self-made right-wing millionaires strike us as either the best or worst examples of American manliness.... The ideal is not an illusion nor is it contemptible, no matter what damage it may have done. Many people who scorn it in conversation want to submit to it in bed. Those who believe machismo reeks of violence alone choose to forget it once stood for honor as well.”
—Edmund White (b. 1940)
“Men go out to admire the heights of mountains, the huge waves of the sea, the broadest spans of rivers, the circle of ocean, the revolutions of stars, and leave themselves behind.”
—St. Augustine (354–430)
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
