Confirmed from Gathering Place's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Riverfront park featuring an adventure playground, a sensory garden, a picnic area, eateries & more.

The Gathering Place is one of our favorite places to visit when we are in Tulsa. I absolutely love that I have been able to bring my child here and that he has had such an amazing park to grow up with. We have loved the age appropriate play areas.

If you’re visiting Tulsa, this is an absolute must-stop destination! The Gathering Place is truly amazing. I love bringing the kiddos here, going for a run, grabbing a coffee, and soaking in the beautiful views. One of our favorite things is feeding the koi fish — the kids absolutely love it!
We have road-tripped up to Tulsa for Campsgiving 2 years because of THIS PARK! 😍😍 We camp all over, and I always look for the bestest things to do, see, and hike wherever we go. I ran across this playground online and made reservations at nearby Keystone State Park just so we could come play here!
