Welcome to LaFortune Park! Our first county park! 💚

In 1981, the Glenpool Community Center opened. In 2006, the City of Glenpool purchased 16 acres at 13800 S. Peoria. Tulsa County’s Board of County Commissioners later earmarked Vision 2025 economic development funds to reimburse the city. When the facility was built, it was originally named the Jenks/Glenpool Community Center, before being renamed the SoCo - South County Recreation Center in 2012.

Between 1970-1985 Tulsa County acquired 170 acres of property at 113th & Garnett Rd. that would become Haikey Creek Park, named after Opotheleyahola Creek tribal member C. Ben Haikey.

Tulsa County Parks is proud to offer one of the area's premier tennis destinations. With 21 lighted outdoor courts and six indoor courts, LaFortune Park Tennis Center is proud to be the home of tennis in Tulsa! 🎾

Whether you're picking up a racket for the first time or looking to sharpen your competitive game, the Tennis Center offers programs, leagues, drills, and lessons for players of all ages and skill levels.

The facility has been recognized as a 2024–2025 USTA Premier Facility, a distinction that reflects its commitment to providing an outstanding tennis experience for players throughout Tulsa County.

Come see why our partners at LaFortune Park Tennis Center are serving up the best tennis in Tulsa! 💚

Welcome to O'Brien Park! 💚
In 1959, Tulsa County purchased 88 acres in North Tulsa to create Northside County Park. The park opened to the public in 1962 with just six concrete picnic tables and was renamed O'Brien Park in 1966 in honor of District 1 Commissioner Frank O'Brien, whose vision helped make the park a reality.

Today, O'Brien Park has grown into a destination for recreation, sports and family fun. Whether you're playing baseball, practicing your swing at the golf training and practice course, enjoying the 18-hole disc golf course, cooling off at the splash pad, fishing, walking the trails or relaxing at a picnic pavilion, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Come discover why O'Brien Park has been bringing North Tulsa families and our community together for generations!

In 1958, the Lost City park area was renamed Chandler Park and officially became the county’s second park. It was mainly used as a picnic area until the late 1960s, when a miniature golf course, baseball diamonds, and tennis courts were added.
