Turkey Mountain has long stood as a cycling challenge both as a steep ascent in Tulsa’s River Parks paved trail system and as a mountain bike trail destination. This area had no more than a parking lot to access these trails when LandPlan was asked to design a plan to better utilize this underdeveloped park area. As a result, Tulsa now has it’s first fabricated climbing boulders varying in size and difficulty: beginning, intermediate and advanced. Other improvements to the area include a new parking lot with 80 spaces and six spaces for horse trailers, lighting, flagstone pavers, restrooms, and landscaping with benches, water fountains, and one of Tulsa’s first rain gardens. Future phasing will include a shelter and seating area that will overlook the river and will also realign the steep trail that leads to the park from the north.
