Honor Heights Park in Muskogee, Oklahoma, is a 132-acre botanical garden and arboretum that began in 1909 when the City of Muskogee purchased the original 40 acres and officially named it Honor Heights Park in 1919 in honor of World War I soldiers.

The park is especially renowned for its azaleas and hosts the annual Azalea Festival each April, attracting many visitors. It features several specialized gardens including the Conard Rose Garden, C. Clay Harrell Arboretum, Art Johnson Memorial Dogwood Collection, Elbert L. Little Jr. Native Tree Collection, as well as scenic walking trails like the Henry Bresser Nature Trail and Audubon Trail.

Visitors can enjoy fishing in lakes and ponds, playgrounds, a butterfly house open from Mother's Day through September, and year-end festivities during the Garden of Lights when over 1.2 million lights illuminate the park. With picnic areas, gazebos, and a pavilion, the park serves as a community hub blending horticultural beauty, recreation, and cultural events, making it a treasured green space in Muskogee.
