Gathering Place

Now, Tulsa, I work with that community, has done great jobs.

They built the best park in America, the Gathering Place.

They've upped their arts and culture scene.

They have the Woody Guthrie Archives, the Bob Dylan Archives.

The Philbrook Museum in Tulsa combines fine art with genuinely stunning formal gardens worth an entire afternoon of exploring.

Tulsa's gathering place, a massive riverside park, has quickly become one of the most beloved public spaces in the entire country.

And Turner Falls, a genuinely scenic waterfall and swimming hole, remains one of Oklahoma's most popular natural attractions.

A few things worth knowing.

Watch wild bison graze freely across the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, a genuinely rare sight that's accessible from the road.

Visit a tribal cultural center to learn firsthand about Oklahoma's deep and living Native American heritage.

cool off at Turner Falls on a hot summer afternoon, swimming beneath the cascading water below, and stroll through Tulsa's Gathering Place, a genuinely impressive riverside park built for the entire community to enjoy.

Summer brings peak lake and river season to Beavers Bend, with boating, fishing, and swimming running at full swing from June through August each year.

I had the best job.

I got to do things with The Gathering Place and Guthrie Green and a bunch of other really cool initiatives here in town.

But he fell off of a ladder, and, um, I was kinda like the next person in line essentially.

So I've been in this role for about six or seven years now.

Yeah.

Best business advice you've ever received?

Ooh, this comes from Toni Moore at Gathering Place.

Oh, y- I love Toni.
