Wilson Park is a pleasant place to take a break. Enjoy a picnic lunch, throw a Frisbee around or just lie on the grass and close your eyes for a while.
You're spoiled for sightseeing choice when staying in Arkansas City. Wilson Park is a good place to start here, but there are loads of other worthy places to explore. Cherokee Strip Land Rush Museum, Chaplin Nature Center, and 7 Clans First Council Casino Hotel are not far from the recreation and green space and will top off your day nicely.
