Gathering Place
A free 26-hectare park on the Arkansas River, once named America's best new park and a must-visit for families with children.
Gathering Place opened in 2018, funded by the George Kaiser Family Foundation at a cost of about USD 465 million. Along the river are a large adventure playground, climbing areas themed on castles and ships, splash zones, boating on the lake, a skate park and grassy slopes. The park also houses Discovery Lab, a children's science museum. Admission is free. Parking is tight on weekends, but free shuttle buses are available. The park is generally open from 07:00 until after sunset; check the official website.
