Maxwell Park
About Maxwell Park
Features and Amenities
Let's talk water fun! Maxwell Park has a splash pad that's a popular spot when Oklahoma summer heat kicks in. Kids - especially the little ones - absolutely love running through the water jets and getting thoroughly soaked. It's a simple joy that never gets old.
Right next to the splash zone, you'll discover a traditional playground area complete with all the classics - slides, swings, and climbing structures. It's designed with different age groups in mind, making it a go-to spot for families in the neighborhood looking to burn off some energy.
Sports and Recreation
If you're in the mood for some sports action, Maxwell Park offers several options. The tennis courts are ready whenever you want to practice that backhand or challenge a friend to a match.
More of a basketball person? The basketball courts are great for shooting some hoops, whether you're looking for a pickup game or just working on your jump shot. And let's not forget the open green spaces - ideal for tossing a frisbee, taking your dog for a walk, or just sprawling out on a blanket when you need a dose of nature.
Relaxation and Community Spaces
Not feeling particularly athletic? No problem. Maxwell Park isn't all about breaking a sweat. Picnic tables dot the landscape, offering perfect spots to enjoy a sandwich, catch up with friends, or simply sit back and watch the world go by.
There's also a covered picnic area that you can reserve for gatherings - one section conveniently sits right by the splash pad. This makes the park a natural choice for birthday parties, family get-togethers, or any occasion when you want to bring people together outdoors.
Library Access
One of the coolest things about Maxwell Park is that it houses the Maxwell Park Library right on its grounds. It's kind of like getting two destinations in one - you can balance outdoor play with some quiet reading time or access to library programs.
The library staff are known for being super helpful, and the place functions as something of a neighborhood living room. With regular events and a calm space for reading or studying just steps away from all the outdoor fun, it adds a whole different dimension to your park visit.
Park Environment
Maxwell Park offers a peaceful setting for spending time with family or connecting with neighbors. Some parkgoers mention that a bit more shade would be nice, especially around the splash pad (Oklahoma sun is no joke!), but overall it's a pleasant green space in the city.
The City of Tulsa keeps the park in good shape year-round as part of their parks system. Need a bathroom break? You can use the restroom facilities inside the library when it's open, and you might find portable facilities elsewhere in the park depending on the season.
