Centennial Park, formerly known as
Central Park. The name was changed in 1998 as part of Tulsa's
centennial. One of Tulsa's oldest parks, with a recent major
renovation, is a great place to take a relaxing walk. Stroll the
well maintained paths and enjoy the sounds of moving water from the
fountain, stream and falls. Several places to stop, sit and rest.
The nearly 13 acres have been reshaped with a decorative detention
pond at the center to prevent flooding problems of the past.
A centennial time capsule, interred on Jan. 17, 1998, in honor of
the City's 100th birthday, is buried at Centennial Park. The time
capsule, scheduled to be unearthed in the year 2048, includes items
such as a prototype of the 1998 Plymouth Prowler, a City of Tulsa
Financial Report, student essays on what Tulsa will be like in the
year 2048, and Tulsa restaurant menus.
Don't forget to look to the west for one of the best views of
Tulsa's downtown skyline!
