Officials describe Flat Rock (Black Rock) Creek park plan for North Tulsa
Summary
A partnership with the Tulsa Housing Authority will create Flat Rock Creek (also referenced as Black Rock Creek) park with trails, a fishing pond and outdoor learning opportunities, and presenters said it had strong community support at town halls.
City and housing officials described a proposed parks and trails project referred to in the transcript as Black Rock Creek and later as Flat Rock Creek, in partnership with the Tulsa Housing Authority’s 36North initiative. Presenters said the project would add biking and walking trails, nature connections and possibly a fishing pond in North Tulsa.
Speakers said the project’s intent is to provide outdoor amenities, exercise access and outdoor learning opportunities for nearby schools and residents; presenters also said they had held community meetings and reported overwhelming support. They tied the park discussion to returning housing in the area, including Tulsa Housing Authority apartments and several hundred new homes planned in the immediate area; presenters said the park would strengthen the neighborhood’s amenity base as housing returns.
No formal action or vote was recorded in the transcript; the item was presented as a project update and community-engagement summary.
