Gathering Place

"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 mark 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."

"I heard lots about this park when visiting the city, so I finally stopped by and wow, this place beat all expectations. By far one of the most impressive city parks with amazing design and tons recreation options. Definitely worth a visit, something for everyone here!"

"10/10 Excellent place to go and shoot when there's events! Very wonderful for walking around with a camera, street photography just building a portfolio, it's a wonderful and handy place, I remember it being up on the first day it was open!"

"What a great place to spend the day!! We took a picnic lunch and played the entire day! Cannot recommend enough!"
