Minshall Park

Natural Beauty

At the heart of Minshall Park lies a charming pond that represents the centerpiece of this hidden Tulsa gem. The park's thoughtful design blends open green spaces with wooded areas, creating a little pocket of nature right in the middle of the city.

There's something genuinely calming about this space - it's the kind of quiet retreat where you can actually hear yourself think. If you're into wildlife watching, you'll enjoy spotting the resident geese waddling about, turtles sunning themselves on logs, and other critters that call the pond area home.

Get Moving or Just Relax

A smooth, paved recreation trail loops around the pond, great for your morning jog, an evening walk, or just stretching your legs whenever the mood strikes. The trail is well-kept and fairly flat, so it's great whether you're training for a marathon or just out for a leisurely stroll.

Got kids? The playground facilities will keep them entertained while you catch a breath. For those perfect Oklahoma days when eating outdoors just feels right, the picnic areas provide a lovely setting for a family lunch or casual meetup with friends.

One of the park's standout features is the spacious gazebo and pergola area complete with cooking facilities and wheelchair access - making it an inclusive spot for community gatherings.

Fancy catching dinner? The pond is stocked with various fish, including catfish, making this a surprisingly good fishing spot without having to leave the city limits.

Neighborhood Vibes

Minshall Park sits snugly within its namesake neighborhood, surrounded by suburban homes mostly dating back to the 1980s. Many local residents visit regularly.

Located near East 71st Street, you can easily combine your park visit with errands or a meal at nearby restaurants and shops.

Your four-legged friends are welcome here too, however you should bring bags to clean up after them. One thing to note - there aren't any restroom facilities currently available, so plan accordingly.
