welcome to tulsa county parks

ulsa County has the only county operated park system in the State of Oklahoma, existing by permissive state legislation, allowing the Board of County Commissioners to manage a park system. Our Vision is to secure Tulsa as an evolved community in which to live, work, play, visit and do business.

From organized programs at community centers to our tranquil walking trails, Tulsa County Parks provide you with many opportunities to enhance your health and wellness. Our care and maintenance of publicly owned trees, green spaces and parks protects and enhances Tulsa County’s natural environments. Together with the community, and nature’s blessings, we work to preserve our entrusted lands for future generations to enjoy. We invite you to visit us soon.

Tulsa County Parks & recreation advisory board This Board provides a link between the community and the Parks and Recreation department. There are two representatives from each district, appointed by the individual members of the Board of County Commissioners. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board meets quarterly to hear concerns, discuss issues, and provide input to the department about the operation of parks and recreation services. For more information about meeting dates and times, please feel free to contact us. Ed Williams, Vice Chairman Betty Box, VICE CHAIR Dr. Nancy Feldman, Member-at-large Bill LaFortune Nancy Wells

Board of County Commissioners

Message From the Director Welcome to Tulsa County’s Recreation & Activities Guide. We encourage you to utilize our many programs; with five community centers open year round, we are sure you will find something to enjoy. Connecting people to the community is what we are all about. At the heart of our organization are our volunteers. They are a vital part of the Tulsa County Parks system and we rely on their time, energy, and talents to help us create a better community. Parks, recreation services and facilities are a very important part of enhancing the quality of life in our neighborhoods. Take time out for leisure. Visit our beautiful parks, trails, tennis and golf facilities. The benefits of parks and recreation to our community are truly endless.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT Tulsa County Parks will make every effort to fully comply with local, state and federal statutes relating to the rights and needs of disabled citizens of Tulsa County, including but not limited to, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990.

Community & Park Councils Each of our parks and recreation/community centers has community-minded individuals who are loyal to the individualized vision of our parks. They serve on councils made up of volunteers willing to donate their time and talents. Each Community Park Council has established a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization to assist in funding their programs and events. Become part of the solution for your neighborhood park and recreation/community center. Feel free to give a call to any of our parks and get involved!

Sincerely, Richard Bales, Tulsa County Parks Director

The mission of Park Friends, Inc. is to promote interest in the development of Tulsa’s park system and encourage monetary or non-monetary gifts to the parks. We work closely with all park administrators by raising funds and making grants to fund activities that will preserve the natural beauty and historical significance of the entire Tulsa Parks System. We go beyond budgets by providing support to priority projects / activities which ensure that each park is inspiring and beautiful for all current and future generations. Park Friends, Inc. appropriates donations to the designated Tulsa County or City of Tulsa park of an individual’s choice. Making a difference for the welfare and health of our entire community is a mission not only shared by us, but all of Tulsa and her sister cities. We have been instrumental in the facilitation of hundreds of thousands of dollars donated by businesses, civic groups and other organizations, as well as individuals from all walks of life for the development of Tulsa’s beautiful parks.

SPECIAL EVENTS & Reservations Planning a wedding, family reunion, or company appreciation day? Consider Tulsa County Parks as a unique setting. Let nature stage your event with all the beauty it has to offer. A special event at one of our parks is not only economical but convenient.

Remember, as a host, you are responsible for the safety and actions of your guests, not only during your event, but until they are home safely.

BRICKS 4 KIDZ

Crayons, coloring books, paper and the imagination of small children. Let’s see what can happen when we put them all together for an hour of drawing and coloring fun.

You and your child are probably already familiar with the play aspect of Lego Duplo blocks. The Bricks 4 Kidz preschool classes take that concept to another level. We build with Duplos in a structured but fun setting, using the copyright Bricks 4 Kidz model plans. Throughout the 4 week session, each model has a lesson plan designed to teach your child about the object that is built, the letter of the alphabet, it represents, and the concepts of patterning and counting. In addition, your child will learn how to follow step by step instructions while enhancing fine motor skills. A picture of the item they built that day in class will be sent home so you can see and discuss the project with them.

The facility opened in the fall of 2006, with the goal of serving North Tulsa County by providing a facility at a fair price for people to learn and improve their skills in the game of golf. The facility provides a non-intimidating environment for golfers of all ages and skill levels. Group lessons are available for the beginning golfer, as well as a number of golf camps for junior golfers ages 8-17. Introductory clinics are available for players of every age group and level. Individual lessons can be scheduled by calling the golf shop. O’Brien has a three-hole layout with 14 tee box locations incorporating par 3’s, 4’s and a par 5. The driving range has an elevated tee box of over an acre of real grass (no mats). Additionally there is a practice bunker, chipping target green and a large putting green. The entire facility is surrounded by three lakes and a stream that all come into play. Take advantage of our “combo special” and receive a bucket of balls for the driving range and play three holes for only $5. There is an air-conditioned club house where beverages and snacks are available.

ADULTS: Weekly scheduled evening clinics for adults (in-season).

JUNIORS: Monthly scheduled Kid’s Clinics lasting 4-5 days each (in-season). During the school year, clinics (and sometimes transportation) are provided for elementary/middle school age students from public schools in Tulsa County by request. Some of the schools serving some of Tulsa’s most economically disadvantaged children have participated and some have developed on-going programs. Many Junior High and High School golf programs use O’Brien as their practice facility. For a list of our upcoming events visit our web site at: http://sites.google.com/site/obriengolftulsa/
