We prefer to provide fully functioning comfort stations to our park users. However, we will be saving all the funding we have spent on replacing this very sink over the course of the year to purchase surveillance systems. #riverparks #seesomethingsaysomething #vandalismisbad

Most of you are awesome at physical distancing and only visiting the park with those that live under the same roof as you. Some of you are not. TPD are monitoring and can decide to remove park amenities if it's too unsafe. Don’t be the few that ruin it for the rest of Tulsa.

Apparently, more sightings of the unidentified large mammal occurred Monday and Tuesday according to several reports. Please see our attached statement AND before anyone says anything about what day it is, ya, we KNOW. This is just bad timing for us and coincidental to the matter

UPDATE: Thursday a levy along the west bank soccer fields was eroding. If it failed, then Garden City and all the businesses along Elwood & 41st area would flood. Crossland Construction came to the rescue and worked overnight to build a new levy section.

Curious where all this water is coming from? Here’s the drainage (catchment) basin for the Arkansas River. As you can see, it drains water all the way from New Mexico and Colorado. Although we might not have rain here, storms out west exacerbate our flooding situation.

Tulsa Police will be issuing citations for people entering the park (that’s anything west of Riverside Dr). The possibility of sinkholes, water moccasins, disease from raw sewage should be enough reason but if ignore this warning, TPD will remind you possibly with a citation.
