Joplin Parks Holiday Tree Trail

This festive event invites local businesses and organizations to showcase their creativity by sponsoring beautifully decorated trees along the trail, turning the park into a winter wonderland. Each tree reflects a unique theme or aligns with the sponsor's mission.

Kick off the festivities on December 4 with a magical evening featuring Santa, live music, dancing, and delicious refreshments! After lighting up the tree trail, attendees are encouraged to participate in an initiative to promote movement and wellness: “Whether you roll or stroll, Ozark Athletic and Joplin Parks & Recreation want you to get moving to close out 2024!” This challenge invites the community to roller skate, use their wheelchair or bicycle, or simply walk their way into the new year.

Throughout the month, park guests will have the chance to vote for their favorite tree, making it a fun and interactive experience for all.
