Gathering Place

Probably one of the best parks i have had the pleasure of going to. My husband and I have been meaning to go here for a while and decided to go this weekend. There was so many people but honestly the park is huge enough that it was still beautifully peaceful and you can find quiet areas to enjoy and see nature. There is so much to see and do at the gathering place and I love that you can kayak or paddleboat as well. I love the attention to detail in the seating areas and that you are encouraged to feed the fish with feed sites. We will absolutely be going again. Thank you for such a beautiful park I highly recommend it.

We have road-tripped up to Tulsa for Campsgiving 2 years because of THIS PARK! 😍😍 We camp all over, and I always look for the bestest things to do, see, and hike wherever we go. I ran across this playground online and made reservations at nearby Keystone State Park just so we could come play here! The whole reason to come to Tulsa was the Gathering Place! Like I said, we go everywhere, and this is the biggest, bestest playground we’ve ever seen. 🙌🏼 It’s big enough for adults to play in with their smaller kids. (Be prepared to crouch in a few areas. 😄) Wander thru the park. There are multiple play areas. Our other favorites were slide vale and log climb in the park. We also visited the Discovery Lab which is adjacent to the park. We definitely recommend it! 🦮 If you have a dog, check their site for their detailed policy. 📌 Dogs are not allowed in play areas ever. Their dog days are wed, sat, and sun. On those days, dogs are allowed on walking paths only. On any day, dogs ARE allowed on 2 trails: River parks trail (on the other side of Riverside Drive, runs along the river) and Tuckabache trail (trail that runs along the outside of the parking lot). See park map (marked in red and yellow lines). These two trails run along the OUTSIDE perimeter of the park. I took a small screenshot. Full map is on their website. So I walked our dog on those trails outside the park while my husband played with our daughter inside the park. And then we switched.

Always a favorite stop for us- not matter what season. Fun for everyone. Large parking but it’s very busy. Water activities, benches, walking, nature area, sometimes events and festivities. Restrooms, smooth walking paths. ZipLine.

A very nice park to stroll with your partner; it also has many activities for adults or children, but I highly recommend it for couples—you'll have an amazing time!

Wonderful place to stop while traveling with family. Local spot where many people have community vibes here. Really relaxing and family fun. Highly recommend it.
