Read more about this location
Hicks Park's new inclusive playground is one of Tulsa's strongest all-abilities outdoor play destinations. Official city announcements describe accessible surfacing, sensory-rich components, adaptive swings, ground-level play, quiet and parallel play spaces, a wheelchair-accessible We-Go-Round, and a three-story Volo Aire tower that is fully accessible to the top. The city also reports improved sidewalks, updated parking, renovated restrooms, and an adult changing table as part of the project. This is a strong pick for families who need real mobility access plus more ambitious play than a typical neighborhood structure offers.
