Tulsa Parks announces improvements on sports courts for 22 Tulsa Park locations for 2024. These improvements will enhance recreation opportunities across Tulsa Parks, made possible through the Improve Our Tulsa II capital improvements project. Upgrades will begin June 1, 2024, and will continue through the Fall of 2024. This endeavor underscores Tulsa Parks commitment to providing top-notch facilities for residents and visitors alike to enjoy an even wider range of recreational activities. The revamped sports courts will showcase improved designs and upgrades that will elevate the overall playing experience, whether it's basketball, tennis, pickleball, or volleyball.

Through Improve our Tulsa 1 and 2, as well as other park funds, grants, and private partnerships, Parks has $9.8M in funding to improve playgrounds expected to begin at the end of this year.
In 2022, Tulsa Parks did a condition assessment to evaluate the condition at each of our 109 playgrounds at 88 parks to determine how best to prioritize these improvements. Throughout this process, we consulted Parks maintenance and recreation staff, evaluating previous "Lets Talk Tulsa Parks" 2020 survey responses, discussions with city councilors and neighborhood groups, to determine the playgrounds that are the most used and the most in need of improvements, and that would affect park users citywide. The plan was then brought to council for approval.
The plan approved by council in 2023 includes:
We expect to begin these replacements to start at the beginning of 2025 at the latest.
