The Gathering Place is Tulsa's pride and joy — a 66-acre, $465 million riverside park that opened in 2018 and immediately became one of the best public parks in America. It's not hyperbole: USA Today readers voted it the nation's best new attraction the year it opened.
The scale is staggering — a world-class playground spanning five acres, sports courts, gardens, a boathouse, walking trails that wind through wetlands and along the Arkansas River, and free programming year-round. The Gathering Place is what happens when a city decides a park should be its most ambitious public project.
