Between mid-October and early December, how many Friday nights does the City of Moore have something scheduled at 700 S. Broadway Ave.? Six. They are October 16, November 6, 13, 20 and 27, and December 4. Every Friday in November is on the list. Each one happens at the same 51-acre campus, made up of Dr. Curtis Berry Central Park and The Station Recreation Center.
The fall calendar puts the city's events on one campus and runs them on a Friday-night rhythm. It starts outside at the amphitheater, moves into The Station's gym and lobby as the nights get colder, and comes back outside for the holiday lights. Once you know which part of the campus each event uses, you can plan the season week by week.
A Campus Built for Exactly This
Central Park and The Station opened on April 16, 2016. News 9 reported that the project cost the city $26 million in bonds Moore voters approved in 2012. The Station's name nods to Moore's railroading roots. The park itself is named for Dr. Curtis Berry, who sold the 51 acres to the city at a considerable discount.
The fall schedule makes more sense once you know the pieces of the campus:
- The amphitheater has a covered stage overlooking a man-made lake. It has about 350 permanent seats and lawn space for about 1,000 more people.
- The Multipurpose Pavilion has covered space for 20 vendors, plus a plaza and restrooms.
- The trails total 1.65 miles. That's a 1.39-mile park trail and a 0.26-mile lake trail.
- The Station is the year-round recreation center, with fitness space, basketball courts, an indoor walking track and meeting rooms. Its seasonal aquatic center has three pools.
That combination of outdoor stage, covered pavilion and indoor gym in one place lets the city move events between rooms instead of across town. The Fall Marketplace on September 26 shows how that works. The city revised the event page in July to move it indoors to The Station's basketball gym. It still had 50+ vendors selling quilts, yard art, farm produce and crafts, with Coit's Food Truck and Okie Bean Coffee on site.
October Starts Outside, at the Amphitheater
The first Friday on the list is Tricks, Treats & Hocus Pocus on October 16, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Central Park Amphitheater and Pavilion. Kids trick-or-treat through the park, with lawn games, inflatables and balloon twisting along the way. Coits Food Trucks and R & P Carnival Eats & Treats will be serving. When the trick-or-treating wraps up, the lawn turns into an outdoor theater for a showing of Hocus Pocus.
This event needs the outdoor half of the campus. The trick-or-treat route runs through the park, and the movie uses the same lawn that holds about 1,000 people for concerts.
The one big city-backed event this month that isn't on South Broadway comes three days earlier. The Moore Police Department's Burgers and Badges is Tuesday, October 13, from 6 to 8 p.m. at New City Shopping Center, 830 N. City Ave. The department plans to serve more than 1,000 free burgers, along with hot dogs. Patrol cars and tactical vehicles will be parked on site so you can see them up close. It's also the only event on this fall's list that falls on a weeknight other than Friday.
November Moves Indoors, One Friday at a Time
When the evenings get cold, the schedule moves inside The Station, and the city has filled every Friday of the month.
November 6: Brews and Brushes. Oklahoma's Tipsy Artist leads an adults-only paint-and-sip night from 6 to 9 p.m. at The Station Recreation Center. Tickets are $45 per person, IDs are checked at the door, you can choose from two designs, and local beer and wine are sold on site.
November 13: Turkey Shoot Free Throw Contest. Each contestant shoots 10 free throws, and the top shooter in each of six age divisions wins a Thanksgiving turkey. The divisions are 5–8, 9–12, 13–17, 18–29, 30–49 and 50+. Entry is free, but you have to register online, and registration closes at 5 p.m. on November 10. The event runs 6 to 8 p.m., and contests start at 6:15.
November 20: Indoor Movie at The Station. It runs 6 to 8 p.m., and the city lists The Santa Claus Movie as the feature. The movie is free, but every person attending has to register in advance, and the city will have free cookies and cocoa.
November 27: Christmas Light Show at The Station. The city's schedule lists this as the first night of the 2026 season, running 6 to 10 p.m., and the event description says the free show runs nightly during those hours. The same page gives conflicting dates for the season, so check it before you plan a late-December visit.
The weekend before the light show, the campus has one event that isn't on a Friday. The Sasquatch Hunt runs all day November 21 and 22, or "until all the Sasquatchs are found," in the city's words. The Sasquatches are hidden on the playground, along the walking trails and in other spots around Central Park. Kids who find one bring it to The Station for a special Sasquatch prize. The hunt uses both halves of the campus at once, with the searching outside and the prizes inside.
December Brings the Crowd Back to the Lawn
The sixth Friday puts the biggest event back outdoors. The Christmas Spectacular & Tree Lighting Ceremony is Friday, December 4, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Moore Central Park Amphitheater, with fireworks at 8:20 p.m. It's a free event. The city's event page spells it "Tree Lightning." The Fall/Winter activity guide calls it a "Tree Lighting Ceremony."
The next morning moves back inside. Breakfast with Santa is Saturday, December 5, from 8 to 10 a.m. at The Station Recreation Center. Tickets are $10 per person, and everyone needs one to get in. Santa's Mailbox sits in The Station lobby from November 30 through December 18. On December 9, the city's Fall/Winter 2026 activity guide lists a Christmas Cookie Class at The Station from 6 to 8 p.m.

The Trails Between the Events
On nights with no event, the campus is still set up for walking. The city's Walk the Parks fall program runs September 21 through November 16. It's an eight-week program where you log your walks, send in an activity tracking form by 6 p.m. each Sunday, and qualify for a weekly prize drawing. According to the city, 10 of Moore's 13 public parks have walking paths. At Central Park, you can do the 1.39-mile park trail and the 0.26-mile lake trail in one outing. When the weather won't cooperate, The Station has an indoor walking track.
The city is also adding outdoor spots elsewhere. Its public works update says construction on new shaded pavilions at 5th & Markwell Park and Cottonwood Park was scheduled to start by the end of October 2026 and finish by the end of November, weather permitting.
The Dates That Need a Sign-Up
Several events this season need planning ahead:
- Sundays by 6 p.m. through November 16: Walk the Parks tracking forms are due. You don't have to send them in, but they count toward the weekly prize drawings.
- November 10 at 5 p.m.: Online registration closes for the Turkey Shoot Free Throw Contest.
- Before November 6: Brews and Brushes tickets are $45 per person through cityofmoore.com/fun, and the event is for adults 18 and over.
- Before November 20: Every person going to the free Indoor Movie at The Station has to register.
- Before December 5: Breakfast with Santa needs a $10 ticket for each person.
The rest of the season works one Friday at a time at the same address. Plan on the amphitheater lawn in October and December and The Station's gym and lobby in November.
