Geocache Description:

There was a geocache in this exact spot a few years ago.  It's a great place to watch the river and it's wildlife.

The Creation of River Parks Authority

In 2008, the River Parks Authority, created by the City of Tulsa and Tulsa County, soon began transforming the riverfront with over $2 million in federal urban renewal funds. The agency’s first project was the conversion of a former railroad bridge at 29th and Riverside into the Pedestrian Bridge, linking the east and west banks of the river. Next came construction of the early phases of the park’s asphalt-surfaced recreation trail with related amenities. To encourage support and use of the new park facilities, public events, such as fireworks and festivals, were introduced to draw people to River Parks to see its potential.

River Parks now includes over 800 acres of land stretching along miles of the Arkansas River. The focal point of the park is its trail system, weaving through open lawns and tree-lined picnic areas, past bronze wildlife sculptures and the seasonal color of native trees and wildflowers. Public events are centered primarily at the River West Festival Park with its amphitheatre and the Reynolds floating stage. Zink Dam and Lake, completed in 1983, have made the river a popular spot for fishing and rowing.

The Tulsa Wave Park offers 500 feet of rapids along the west bank of the Arkansas River and the Pedestrian Bridge.  It was washed out by flooding years later.  There are plans to build a new white water park along the east side of the river by 2017.
