Woodward Park and Gardens

"Went to the Woodward Park today and got to see all the beautiful falling leaves and the various different trees and plants. As it's winter not a lot is blooming but I suspect it will be stunning in spring."

"I love the teaching Garden at Woodward Park! Every time of year there's something new and beautiful to see. The Koi fish and Japanese style garden is such a relaxing place to reflect."

"Went inside the mansion (Open 9-4) and upstairs to a kind receptionist who directed us to a map of the grounds and encouraged us to visit the teaching center. Wonderful ideas at the teaching center for your own gardens and a place for small children to create, rest, learn. The staff is welcoming and the gardens are beautiful! This is truly a gem in Tulsa and a refreshing place to take a walk and see 🐿, 🐇, and 🐦. Spent 2 hours enjoying the koi pond, lilies, hydrangeas and various roses, trees and shrubs."

"A favorite place to go year-round! Each season has its own distinct beauty - this is late summer. Beautiful koi pond, a "teaching garden," plants are labeled for the edification of the park's myriad annual visitors. Some of the landscaping (the rose gardens in particular!) is reminiscent of the Gardens of Versailles. Dogs on a leash are welcome, obviously pick up after them! There are picnic tables under the shade of massive trees, public restrooms, and swings for the kiddos! The grounds are massive and kept very clean. Lots of parking in various areas, this is a "free to the public park!" Many of the gardening clubs (Herb, Iris, etc.) host meetings in the facilities on the south end of the park, and if you check online, you can see what various educational activities are available to the public (both adult and also kids' programs) each month!"

"They had lots of beautiful trees. But the flowers were mostly gone. The workers were all very friendly. Had bunnies, large colorful fish in a mini waterfall setting near visiter center & lots of playful squirrels all over the park which were fun to watch. Also, a bird with a yellow breast that let my adult daughter stand about 1 1/2 feet from it while it chirped & made all kinds of sounds like a mocking bird does. I can't figure out how to put it on this phone from the text she sent me--sorry. Lots of benches scattered about for those like me who can't walk very far at a time. Definitely plan to come back in the Spring!"
