  • O'Brien Park and Recreation Center

    O'Brien Park, located in North Tulsa County, has a rich history dating back to 1959 when the county purchased 88 acres for its establishment. The park opened to the public in 1962, initially featuring just six concrete picnic tables. In 1966, it was renamed in honor of District 1 Commissioner Frank O'Brien, a key figure in its development. Today, the park spans over 140 acres and is recognized for its extensive sports facilities and recreational offerings.

    The park features a baseball complex and a recreation center that cater to a variety of community activities. Notably, it houses the only combined disc golf and ball golf course in Oklahoma, attracting enthusiasts of both sports. The O'Brien Park fishing pond allows for fishing, subject to state regulations, enhancing the park's recreational appeal.

    Visitors to the park can enjoy several amenities, including three picnic pavilions, ten baseball fields, a batting cage, and ample green spaces. The walking trails and two playgrounds contribute to a family-friendly environment, while the North Tulsa Victory Garden promotes community engagement. Seasonal attractions such as a splash pad also draw visitors during warmer months, providing additional options for outdoor fun.

    The park's golf training and practice course is equipped with a three-hole layout, multiple tee-box locations, a driving range, and designated areas for putting and chipping, making it accessible for golfers of all skill levels. The park remains a vital recreational space for the community, offering various facilities designed to promote outdoor activities and social gatherings.
