Why you should go…

Gathering Place is a 66.5-acre park along Tulsa's riverfront that opened in 2018, designed by landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh. Kids head for the five-acre Chapman Adventure Playground and the water play at Mist Mountain, while others use the sports courts, skate park and pump track or take a free kayak or pedal boat ride on Peggy's Pond from the ONEOK Boathouse. Williams Lodge, the Redbud Café and art installations round out a visit.
