GATHERING PLACE: Difference between revisions

{{Project

|Description=A transformation along Tulsa’s riverfront is underway as nearly 100 acres are being turned into a world‐class centralized park for Tulsa, Oklahoma—Gathering Place. GKFF leads the effort and collaborates with renowned NYC‐based landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates to design the unique park. Construction began in September 2014, and the 66.5‐acre Phase I is expected to be completed in late spring/summer 2018. The result of a $450 million public‐private partnership, the park has been named the largest gift to a public park in U.S. history. Working with numerous corporate and community philanthropists, GKFF gifted ownership of the $450 million park to the Tulsa River Parks Authority. The park will serve as a cornerstone for a vibrant community while improving social, economic and environmental sustainability in Tulsa. Gathering Place will also provide experiences for all ages. The park includes several amenities like a five‐acre Adventure Playground, Mist Mountain, sport courts, bike and skate parks, nature trails, a boathouse and large lawns for concerts. Providing park-goers space to play, relax and gather for community events, Gathering Place is estimated to attract more than one million visitors annually.
