I have boys in K and 1st grade and the only downfall of the neighborhood is the quality of the schools in the area; I agree with what you are saying about Tulsa needing to concentrate on the things that families find important (schools, parks, activities) if they want to draw people downtown. We're looking forward to the new splash pad and the centennial celebration on May 15th.

I'm assuming that's not true any more, or it wouldn't be gentrifying so rapidly. It is a lovely park, indeed.Brigidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924773399616167162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770348106932064769.post-54953946103638149022010-04-19T12:59:54.302-05:002010-04-19T12:59:54.302-05:00This last weekend I took my parents to Owen Park t...This last weekend I took my parents to Owen Park to show them houses I liked in the neighborhood.

It was a sad day when the city closed the community center. My oldest daughter was going to every activity that owen had to offer and she went to summer camp last year. The staff is so great with the kids and owen gives kids so much to do after school, on weekends and during the summer. I hope the city leaders read this great story you wrote about owen and read all of the comments and re open the community center.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770348106932064769.post-17911966559952473152010-04-19T10:33:52.367-05:002010-04-19T10:33:52.367-05:00Love it!
