The long suffering Washington Irving agreed to watch our mutts while we took a walk around the park.
Washington Irving camped near here back in 1832 during his tour of the west.
The City of Bixby has made this not just a park in honor of Washington Irving. It also has several memorials.
There is a memorial to the victims of the 9-11 attack. A structural member from one of the collapsed buildings.
There is a memorial for the children died in the Murrah Building bombing in Oklahoma City.
There is a butterfly garden memorial for a young Bixby housewife and mother who was brutally murdered.
I don’t mean to make it all doom and gloom. Its not. The park is a great place for a boy and his dog to take a walk.
Interesting trees

Nice little park. I need to visit my neighbor to the south. Jenks, Bixby, and Broken Arrow get mixed up as they merge across South Tulsa. Nice place for a boy and his dog. I had a terrific weekend.
Great post for the day! And it does look as though SPB had fun! Love the first shot with Irving minding the doggies! Very moving tributes there as well! Lovely way to spend the day! Enjoy your day!

It’s a beautiful park! I love the angle of that first shot of your pups. They are so cute!
Love the shot of WI taking care of your dogs! Beautiful park for memorials which is as it should be.
So many sad memorials – couterweighted by lovely dogs and small children.
I appreciate your shots of the memorials. 🙂
Your dogs are adorable!
Beautiful shots of great place. Great memorials in the city.
Nice park. I like the idea of the butterfly garden memorial.
It is good and important to remember. A place for peace. Beautiful. And the family and the pooches and Mr. Irving–a great blend of beauty!
Sad, yet a place worth mentioning. Thank you for this. So thoughtful of them who made this place.
