A public commenter described Black Rock Creek, a proposed partnership with Tulsa Housing Authority’s 36 North to add trails, fishing and outdoor learning in North Tulsa; speaker said the project received strong community support and will align with nearby housing development.
A resident addressing the Tulsa City Council described plans for a proposed project called Black Rock Creek, a partnership the speaker said involves the Tulsa Housing Authority’s 36 North initiative.
“ The project is Black Rock Creek, and that is a partnership with the Tulsa Housing Authority's 36 North,” the speaker said. “It will be, as some would like to call it, the Turkey Mountain of North Tulsa. This project will provide biking and walking trails, connection with nature ... possibly a fishing pond.”
The presenter said the project aims to provide outdoor amenities and outdoor learning opportunities for nearby schools. The speaker said multiple community meetings had been held and that the project received “overwhelming support.”

Status: The remarks were presented as public comment and a project pitch; no council action or city funding commitment was recorded during the meeting.
