Woodward Park

Woodward Park is 45 acres of botanical gardens, arboretum trails, and curated green space in the heart of midtown Tulsa. The Tulsa Garden Center, housed in a 1919 mansion, anchors the park, and the Linnaeus Teaching Garden and azalea walk are genuinely beautiful — especially in April when the azaleas explode in color.

Joggers loop the paths, families spread blankets, and Philbrook Museum is literally next door, making an afternoon here feel like a curated experience even though it's just a park doing park things excellently.
