Centennial Park is a quiet spot just to the southeast of downtown Tulsa. It’s actually a park built around a water detention pond as part of Tulsa’s flood prevention system.
Things are much better now but in years past with an urban park with nooks and crannies you never knew what you might see as you turned the corner on one of the paths. So I kind of shied away and kept my head on a swivel when I went there. Mostly it was homeless people and almost all of them just wanted to be left alone. Last week there was nobody there except a city parks employee who was interested in my drone flying.
The park has a big pond with two fountains and has the city center as a backdrop. Way back when this was one of my favorite running routes at noon, taking loop around the pond and paths.
That day though I was with my new toy trying to get something besides me out in the middle of a parking lot. The guy walking up in the video is the parks guy. He had sprayed for weeds a couple days before and he was just checking on things.
So stay safe, and maintain physical distancing!!!
Come join the fun at Our World Tuesday
That seems like a good place for a park, any place with water does. So you’re a drone, guy, huh? What I mostly see are tween boys flying them around apartment windows, lol. Stay safe, be happy.
Lovely! When we lived in Eufaula, OK we used to take trips to Tulsa but I don’t remember every going to the park! Thank you. It’s really lovely! Have a great day
Great park and photos – I see you’re still having fun Alan!

It’s great to get out and see the world!
Hello, looks like a pretty park. Great place for you to fly your drone. Take care, enjoy your day and week ahead.
Nice park
Alan – it looks like a beautiful park – I can see why a homeless person would want to “live” there. Terrific video with your drone! Stay well, my friend!
Yet another delightful nearby green space. You’re getting that drone thing down.
