For people who see this I live here in Tulsa and the best times to go is when the sun is setting and during Christmas. They go crazy with the decorations
I lived in Tulsa, and things not covered by you were: It is free to canoe on the lake, weather permitting There is a free museum in that tall building that's free to go to They have a couple of restaurants in the park that you can go to. Depending what you want to see or do, park in that area. The bridge over the river use to be a pedestrian bridge. It goes close to where October's is held. I agree, make a picnic day of it. You can't see it all in one day even if you arrive at the park when it opens to when it closes. Although opened to the public, it is privately owned. There will be security all over the park. Please throw away any trash. Pick up after yourself. Yes, keep your eyes on all your children, even the older ones. We don't live in Tulsa anymore, but we are visiting this weekend. We plan on going.
We have a shuttle from downtown to the gate now. It starts at the Denver Avenue Bus station & goes to the front entrance with a few stops along the way I believe. I'm sure a couple are for park & ride places. Or you can take the local buses but have Abit more walking too.
I certainly wouldn't call it the 'best' by the video. I'm sure it's a fun place, but it doesn't even have pretty landscaping. That's something that is always an appealing attribute for tourists.
At the sports area, all those lighting poles were really awful. Is the place open when it's dark outside? It shouldn't be. Is there anything there for adults to enjoy or is it just a huge children's park?
There are hiking trails as well as bicycling trails. I didn't bring a bicycle with me on my trip to Tulsa, so I can't tell you how long the trail is, but there is a pretty long trail along the river. They were closed (not sure if because of COVID or the season), but there is also a place there to rent paddle boats, canoes and kayaks. In the area next to the park, there are hiking trails past numerous apartment buildings (also parking nearby) that have numerous nature-themed statues, such as deer and elk.
I didn't see any specific play equipment for children with disabilities such as wheelchair bound children. It would be great if they could add something for them.
I know im randomly asking but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Ismael Noah I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Although it looks out of order, the landscaping was specifically designed that way. “Michael Van Valkenburg & Associates designed Gathering Place’s horticulture style to be lush with thick, mixed plantings and a rural aesthetic. Species are planted in swaths and shifts, with mixtures of texture and color. Nature will guide the garden development as aggressive plants take over. Plants are designed to swallow up hard edges and rails, and the Park is designed with active resistance to an overly tidy look. The over-arching theme of the natural areas features a mixture of ecological regions found in Oklahoma including prairies, wetlands, and forests. Additionally, there are park-like explosions of lawn, formal shrubs, flower displays, and secluded garden gems. “
I agree that this is the best park in America! We absolutely enjoyed it too! Check out our video of it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BUun-ng1Dfk.html
Do not support this park! They are using a frivolous lawsuit in an attempt to drive a small business into the ground. Support your local parks and small businesses, not the greedy corporations that own this one.
I'm a oklahoma to california transplant , disneyland is in california , disneyworld is in florida and both Are Expensive Theme Parks. The Gathering Place Is Just A World Class Park....
Did Helen Keller make this video? Worst attempt to show all the positive view points but yet you have background garbage. Just poor showing of a good park.
2020 Halloween drive through at 'The Gathering Place'......OK, it doesn't work. NO way folks got into the place. It closed and there were still hundreds of cars in line. Who ever thought this use of the park would be great. Nice try, terrible. You have really bad entry and exit to the place. It will cost another 500 mil to fix the entry exit mess....and it is a mess. I blame democrats.....yuk! just kidding.....
my son and his wife waited 4 hours in line to get in the place, they were hoping to get pics if their 1 year old inside the park.....my son called me several time to give me up dates......they gave up, but the traffic was so heavy it took a while to get out of line.....they finally got out of line drove by the entry and the park was closed.....so any more smart remarks.....do you not read well? Guess where they are not going this year.
@@jesticejohn9467 sounds like bullshit. I live in Tulsa and I take my son 3 times a week to the skate park. You could easily park in the neighborhood and walk.
