This is not a park. It's an avenue for crime and I'm not sure why it's even there? There is absolutely nothing to recommend it.

Nice to walk around on a nice day. They have a pretty good disk golf course. Half the time there is a big part of the park that is under construction or repair or is just closed off.

I am new to Tulsa and am lucky enough to live half a block from the RiverParks. I use the trails all the time for biking, running, roller blading and walking my dog. It's so pretty along the Arkansas River. Can hardly wait for the Gathering Place to be underway and to experience the transformation.

This is a great place to walk, ride bikes or jog along the river. There are play areas for the children and places you could bring your lunch to eat along the river. We just brought our books to read and enjoyed the sunshine.

In the last couple of years, they've been renovating and widening the trails, and making separate lanes for feet and wheels. It's almost complete, with only a mile or two in the middle still waiting for... More

If you like the outdoors, then the Tulsa River Parks are the jewel of Tulsa. The extensive trail network is beautiful and extremely well maintained. I've been using the trails weekly for over 10 years, and with money donated from charitable foundations, the rail network keeps getting better and better every year.
