Parks, <strong>Tulsa</strong> Trails <strong>Comprehensive</strong> and Open Space <strong>Plan</strong><br />

Parks, Trails and<br />

Open space<br />

introduction<br />

This chapter of <strong>Tulsa</strong>’s comprehensive <strong>Plan</strong> describes how<br />

Our Vision for <strong>Tulsa</strong> will bring “nature into the city” for current<br />

and future residents and visitors, through a robust and<br />

interconnected network of parks, trails and open space for<br />

the city of <strong>Tulsa</strong>. The goals and policies at the end of this<br />

chapter will guide the city in efforts to protect sensitive<br />

landscapes threatened by future development, and to best<br />

buffer and complement the relationships between the built<br />

and natural environments in regards to new construction,<br />

redevelopment, and land use changes. The goals and<br />

policies will also provide guidance for sound decisions<br />

related to open space, parks, and natural areas and support<br />

of natural systems within the city.<br />
