Confirmed from Riverside Parks - Riverside & 96th'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.
Urban park featuring a skate park and playground, plus trails, a disc golf course, and picnic tables.
What runners say about Riverside Parks - Riverside & 96th
“The bicycle trail is well maintained and everyone was polite on the route I explored.”
“Great for single couples friends family people of all ages to gather or hang out.”
I've lived near and been walking on the trails along riverside for over 10 years and they just keep getting better. The city does try very hard to maintain these trails and keep them in good shape. I personally have never had a poor experience walking or biking on these trails, even at night.
The bicycle trail is well maintained and everyone was polite on the route I explored. my trip was about 40 miles round trip on a e bike. E bike range pedal assist at level 5 was 30 miles. The last 10 miles back was pedal and walk. Note gps maps will drain your devices so best to turn of gps to reserve power!
This is 100% great free urban wilderness; not to mention the gathering Place and the Discovery Center and all the good stuff that’s happening in Tulsa. I can be experienced right here at Riverside parks! and ride the trail, run the trail, walk the trail, skate or the trail.
Clean, lots of families around. Places to sit to eat & drink. Cool off. Only thing that concerned me was that the people on rented scooters were going to fast and too close to people walking around. One guy crashed pretty bad and nearly took out a little girl.

“Beautiful, friendly great place to go for a good run, quiet walk, sit and chill or even fish.”
“E bike range pedal assist at level 5 was 30 miles.”
