Reservation Policy
While reservations are not required for large groups or parties, we do recommend and encourage it. We kindly ask groups of 15 people or more to call ahead to let pool staff know when they'll arrival. This allows staff to be prepared for the influx of swimmers, and helps us better maintain capacity.
Tulsa Parks and our local YWCA have partnered in offering free youth swim lessons for ages 4-13 at Lacy Park Pool. Lessons will be offered throughout the season for varying skill levels. To enroll, please download and fill out this registration form, then email it to Megan Vann with YWCA Tulsa at Mvann@ywcatulsa.org.
Please note, at this time Tulsa Parks is not offering swim lessons at any other locations. We are actively searching for trained instructors in order to offer more programming for the greater Tulsa area.
Water playgrounds and splash pads are one of our most popular play amenities in Tulsa Parks, offering both cool relief and from the summer heat and funs ways to engage kids.
Water at water playgrounds and splash pads will be on for the summer season from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend and are accessible between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. unless they in need of repair or under construction. We will update this webpage and announce closures as quickly as possible on our social media accounts, including our Tulsa Parks Facebook page.
What is the difference between a water playground and a splash pad? Water playgrounds have fun, interactive water features like tumbling water buckets and water cannons. Splash pads are similar to water playgrounds as a great way to cool off and play but do not have the interactive water features or “playground” elements. Most splash pads are also located in neighborhood parks with no restroom facilities or parking lots. Please plan accordingly and be considerate of nearby neighbors.
Please see below for a list of park locations featuring water playgrounds and splash pads.
