The Gathering Place is a public park in Tulsa, located along the Arkansas River. Entrance to the park is free with indoor and outdoor casual dining available. The food venues were closed when we visited. We arrived on a steamy August evening just before sundown. We had limited time so I assume we missed much of the park's features. We also did not know about the park. We visited the Golden Driller statute where a friendly Tulsa resident told us about the park. I highly recommend the park for adults and families, with or without children. It is a must-see destination.

I really love this place. They've done so many renovations to it and it's a big place, great for families to visit. The trails within the park connect to the larger trail system along the Arkansas river, and to the new pedestrian bridge which is a highly accessible way to cross the river. This bridge connects to more trails on the west end of the Arkansas River.

This is the BEST FREE public park ever! Clean facility, not crowded (we came on Thursday 10/10/24), family friendly activities, sweet staff! We came all the way from Houston, TX to explore this park without having any expectations. Our kids loved this! I'm 36 and I enjoyed playing at this park! Wished Houston could have a park like this. This is a MUST VISIT for anyone who's coming to Tulsa!

Drove 2 hours just to come see this place, and it was a great experience! If you have kids, they will love it, I promise you. Tulsa should be proud to have such a beautiful spot on the map.

I love coming to Gathering Place because of how peaceful the environment is. It’s family friendly environment. There is also food available in the park. I’ve had several picnics at the park. On Wednesdays, I believe, they allow you to bring your dog(s). Also they have a user friendly app that can be accessed in the App Store.

Gathering Place Review

The Gathering Place in Tulsa is truly a remarkable destination that deserves all the praise it receives! This park is an absolute treasure, offering a wealth of activities and amenities—all for free, including the kayak rides. It’s hard to believe such a fantastic space is available to the public without any cost!

From the moment you enter, you're greeted by stunning, lush vegetation that creates a serene and beautiful environment. The landscaping is meticulously maintained, and it’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into making this park a picturesque retreat for visitors.

The park boasts a variety of walking trails that wind through the grounds, making it perfect for leisurely strolls or brisk walks. Each path offers something new to discover, and you can easily spend hours exploring the different sections. The interactive features throughout the park are a fantastic addition, engaging visitors of all ages and making it a wonderful place for families.

One of the highlights for me was the opportunity to take out a kayak on the water. Being able to enjoy the lake from a kayak adds a unique perspective to the park and is a fantastic way to connect with nature.

Overall, the Gathering Place is undoubtedly one of the best city parks in the country. It has everything—beautiful scenery, interactive spaces, and engaging activities. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful place to relax, a fun outing with the family, or a spot to enjoy outdoor recreation, this park has it all. I highly recommend visiting if you’re in Tulsa; it’s an experience you won’t want to miss!
