Tulsa Parks Master Plan
The Tulsa Parks
Final Master Plan in its entirety is now available.
It is an extensive document literally hundreds of pages
long. An
Executive Summary that encapsulates the findings of
the Master Plan is also available.
(August 4, 2010) The Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission
voted to make the Tulsa Parks and Recreation Master Plan part of
the PlaniTulsa comprehensive plan. If the City Council votes
likewise, the Parks' Master Plan would become the first document
added to the new comprehensive plan, which provides guidelines for
the city's development for the next 20 to 30 years.
The next part of the Tulsa Parks' planning process involves
research through five main committees. Those committees and
their goals are:
Facilities Finance
Marketing
Programs Trails
These committees are already meeting to research their
areas. If you would like to join a committee, please download
and submit the Volunteer
Application.

Upcoming Renovations Include Skate Park at Mohawk
Planning is on the way for the newest Skate Park In
Tulsa. Located at 2910 E. 56th Street North,
'SkateNorth' will be the biggest 'skate in
the 918!' SkateNorth is at 56th Street North and
H-75, just west of Mohawk Park. Other projects include water
playgrounds, sports court resurfacing, and Zoo improvements!
Check out the current Renovation
Projects.
As of February 28, 2010, approximately $16.1 million is
available to be spent on voter/Council authorized Park projects.
This is comprised of $1.1 million from the 2001 Sales Tax, $5.8
million from the 2006 Advance Funded Sales Tax, and $9.2 million
from the 2006 Extended Sales Tax. Approximately $3.5 million of
that amount is allocated to improvements at the City's 21
recreation centers. All of the $16.1 million is designated to be
spent on approved projects. An additional $5.3 million is scheduled
to be appropriated in FY's 11-13 from future revenue collections
from voter/Council authorized Parks projects from the 2006 Extended
Sales Tax Program. All of the funds are needed to implement the
projects as promised to the voters during the educational
campaigns.
