Lubell Park

Trail System Overview

Lubell Park is a 40-acre green space located in west Tulsa's Mountain Manor neighborhood. The park features a multi-use trail system that caters to various outdoor activities. Opened in October 2021, Lubell Park is notable for being Oklahoma's first purpose-built adaptive mountain bike (aMTB) friendly trail, designed to accommodate a wide variety of off-road handcycles.

Mary's Loop

The park's main attraction is Mary's Loop, a bi-directional 2.2-mile gateway trail suitable for all skill levels. This trail is relatively wide and lacks steep sections or mandatory technical challenges, making it accessible to beginners while still offering enjoyment to more experienced users through its smooth surface and bermed corners. The loop is well-maintained and marked, with minimal elevation gain, making it perfect for those looking to log some miles off the asphalt.

Mary's Loop weaves in and out through dense trees, creating an immersive natural experience that makes you forget you're in the middle of a neighborhood. The scenic, shaded path makes for a peaceful walk, run, or ride for visitors of all ages and their four-legged companions.

Additional Trails and Features

In addition to Mary's Loop, Lubell Park features Hoke Hill, a 0.3-mile bike-specific one-way trail. This section includes a short intermediate-rated return trail leading to a jump line with multiple rollers and doubles, all of which can be "rolled" as users develop their skills and confidence.

The trail system includes three loops and one downhill section. Most of the trails are flowing, though there are some rocky sections that add interest without being too challenging. The trails are rated as blues and greens, making them approachable for pseudo-beginners and experienced riders alike.

The park also includes a set of wooden skill features in the southeast portion, consisting of a tabletop, a skinny, a rollable drop, and a double roller. These features can be incorporated into Mary's Loop or used as a separate short track for practice.

Park Amenities

Lubell Park offers more than just trails. The park includes a playground with equipment for different age groups, making it an excellent destination for families. There's a short track near the playground where children can play while others enjoy the trails.

A gazebo and small tower provide additional attractions within the park. For visitors needing facilities, there is a well-maintained porta-potty available. The park is very dog-friendly, with leashed pets welcome on all trails.

Connectivity and Location

Lubell Park's trails connect to nearby Mooser and Bales trails, providing options for longer excursions for those wanting extended rides or hikes. Future plans include connecting the park to Turkey Mountain, which will open up even more possibilities for interesting treks.

Located just minutes from downtown Tulsa and easily accessible from I-44 or Highway 75, Lubell Park offers a convenient escape into nature for city residents and visitors alike. The park has ample parking available.

Development and Environment

Lubell Park's trails were professionally designed and constructed by Rogue Trails, a company based in Arkansas. The project was supported by local bicycle clubs and has transformed the area into a well-maintained outdoor recreation space. Visitors should note that, like many wooded areas in Oklahoma, ticks can be present in the park, so checking yourself and pets after your visit is recommended.
