41st Street Plaza & River West Festival Park

41st Street Plaza, dedicated in 2009, serves as a family-friendly recreational area featuring a variety of interactive water features, a playground, picnic spots, a covered pavilion, and restroom facilities. The development of the Plaza was privately funded, with a significant contribution from QuikTrip Corporation to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary, totaling $2.8 million. The site is designed to provide an engaging environment for visitors of all ages, including children who can enjoy the water fountains and splashpads during the hot Oklahoma summers.

The water features operate from May to September, allowing families to cool off while enjoying the outdoors. The playground accommodates both younger and older children with diverse equipment, and additional recreational options are provided through turf-covered play pyramids. Picnic areas are equipped with furnishings, and a covered pavilion offers shelter for gatherings. The Plaza also features a river overlook and is host to seasonal events, including the local library system's Summer Reading Roadshow for children. The popularity of the Plaza means it operates on a first-come, first-served basis, without the option for reservations.

Picnic areas are scattered throughout the park, offering scenic views of the river from various benches and tables along the trails. Playground equipment is strategically located at key access points on the east bank, providing ample opportunities for play. Visitors are encouraged to refer to maps for detailed information regarding parking, restrooms, and additional amenities.

In addition to the Plaza, the River West Festival Park on the west bank of the river offers over 15 acres of space designed for medium-to-large events, such as festivals, corporate gatherings, sports events, and concerts. This Park features a river overlook and performance platform, a playground, restrooms, and an event storage/office building. The ample parking, including overflow options, supports the many events hosted at the park. River West Festival Park is recognized for hosting notable events in Tulsa, including Tulsa Oktoberfest, the city's largest Fourth of July celebration, Folds of Honor Freedomfest, and various fun runs, all set against a backdrop of the downtown skyline.
