Centennial Park, Tulsa

Centennial Park is a scenic, well-loved green space in Tulsa, nestled in the heart of the Pearl District just west of Peoria Avenue. Spanning nearly 12 acres, it offers both natural beauty and urban charm, with stunning views of the downtown skyline providing a dramatic backdrop to its landscaped grounds.

The park features lush lawns, graceful stone walls, illuminated walking trails, and a scenic pond framed by waterfalls and ornamental plantings. Wildlife lovers may spot birds, turtles, rabbits, and even swans throughout the grounds. Picnic tables, benches, and fountains invite visitors to relax and take in the peaceful atmosphere, while a playground keeps younger guests entertained.

A standout feature is the Central Community Center, a 12,500-square-foot red-brick building opened in 2006. This hub hosts a variety of community programs-everything from yoga and tai chi to cooking classes and square dancing. Its Vista Deck offers one of the park’s best photo ops, overlooking the pond and Tulsa’s skyline.

Whether you're after a quiet walk, a family picnic, or a class at the community center, Centennial Park blends nature and community in one of Tulsa’s most eclectic neighborhoods. Nearby, you’ll also find other local highlights like the Woody Guthrie Center, the Tulsa Art Deco Museum, and the Tulsa Performing Arts Center-all within walking distance.
