Yesterday was a historic day for all Tulsans. We saw the opening of The Gathering Place, a park that has been four years in the making. It was commissioned by the George Kaiser Family Foundation as a way to bring Tulsa together.
The park offers many various things to do such as a skate and bike park a sports complex, two areas of swing sets; one for adults and one for children. There are several beautiful gardens, mountains, a beach area, and various playgrounds.
For dining areas, this park has several options. These include The Boathouse which offers an upscale restaurant, The Vista which is an upscale menu at an affordable price. There is also The Patio where standard burgers, pizza and hot dogs are served. For coffee, ice cream, an d pastry options, check out the Red Bud Cafe. The Boathouse is located near Swing Hill and Sky Garden. The Patio is located in the Lodge near the edge of the park Red Bud Cafe is in next door in the Reading Tree.
The park is free with the exception of food and drink, as well as some sports equipment rentals. The hours of operation are 9 a.m.-10 p.m. daily and the park employs 24 hour security. There are several shuttles at various locations in Tulsa to take guests to the park, such as Riverspirit Casino, located on 83rd and Riverside and the Tulsa Fairgrounds. Guests can bring food into the park, but no alcohol. Free parking is also available.
The Gathering Place is located at 2650 South John Williams Way E, Tulsa, Ok. 74114. It's an incredible place to visit and spend the day with family and friends. Stay for the evening during the first 100 days to see a free light show! For more information, visit www.gatheringplace.org
