One can't-miss

  • The Gathering Place

    Midtown

    Tulsa's iconic riverfront park — perfect for a fall walk. World-class with kids.

    Couple's pick10 min drive from the HyattStep-freeGood for groupsFree

    A 100-acre riverfront park along the Arkansas River that opened in 2018, paid for largely by a local foundation, and quickly named one of the best new parks in the country. There are gardens, a lake with free boat rides from the ONEOK Boathouse, a big timber lodge with a fireplace and restrooms, a cafe, and famously imaginative playgrounds for the grandchildren. Everything is free, and the wide, gentle paved paths make it one of the easiest outings in Tulsa for anyone who walks slowly.

    Don't miss
    The paved loop from Williams Lodge to the boathouse and around the lake, with a rest on the lodge porch
    Directions
    2650 S John Williams Way E, Tulsa, OK 74114

    Groups
    No reservations; a group of any size can simply arrive. Meet at Williams Lodge (guest services, restrooms, wheelchair loans) and pick a short loop.
    Getting in
    Excellent.

The park is enormous, so plan a short loop rather than trying to see it all.
