Parks, Trails and Open Space parT ii: PuBlic inPuT Mohawk Park is a regional attraction for Tulsans of many ages. funding sources and future direction Respondents were asked how to best cover the funding gaps needed to pay for operations and maintenance costs of new parks and recreation facilities and programs in the future. The respondents favored the creation of a new dedicated funding source through a vote of the people: nearly twothirds of respondents were “strongly in favor” of this option as opposed to 17 percent who were “strongly opposed.” The survey asked respondents if they were willing to support a number of different funding mechanisms to pay for operations and maintenance costs of new parks and recreation facilities, trails, and programs in Tulsa. The reallocation of general sales tax funds and fees from unobtrusive oil drilling in large tracts of undeveloped park land received the strongest support with 53 percent saying they would “definitely” or “probably” support such option.

Parks, Trails and Open Space Parks, Trails and Open space part iii: nature in the city As outlined in the previous sections, parks and open space provide extensive value with multiple benefits. Parks and open space add economic value to properties and the city’s tourist economy, improve the health and well being of the community, and provide important ecological function to maintain a clean environment. To fully capitalize on these benefits, the City of Tulsa wants to expand and enhance our current parks, trails, and open space areas into a more robust and interconnected regional parks and open space system. Tulsans also recognize we need to protect and capitalize on the city’s local natural assets, including Mohawk Park, the Arkansas River, Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area, and more than 100 miles of existing regional trails. Tulsans want to maintain these assets for children in the community, future generations, and where possible, bring nature and parks into the city for everyone to enjoy. Bring nature into the city Our Vision for Tulsa calls for integrating natural areas into the fabric of the city. Access to Tulsa’s natural environments should not just be found in the suburbs but also throughout the city, in the form of pocket parks, street trees, large scale regional parks, nature parks, riverfront trails, community gardens, and undeveloped natural areas. Even small pocket parks can provide important ecological function such as filtering runoff by way of vegetated bioswales along parking lots, commercial buildings, and city streets. Natural parks with limited paving can absorb excess precipitation and provide habitat even within the confines of a downtown block. And areas of small habitat such as butterfly gardens can benefit important pollinators and birds, as well as offer color and beauty to employees and visitors enjoying an outdoor urban space. Throughout the city, in small patches and larger swaths, nature should be a visible and therapeutic buffer to the noise and starkness of the built environment. Because more and more people will likely move to cities in the future, it is critical to make cities beautiful, healthy and enjoyable places. Bringing nature into the city can be achieved through many means, including innovative stormwater management practices, connecting the city with bike and pedestrian paths, distributing parks and open space equitably and regionally, restoring ecological function through hybrid parks and other strategies, and strengthening our connections to the Arkansas River. lead in stormwater Management Already the City of Tulsa is a leader in floodplain and stormwater management and design, evidenced by Rooftop to River, the Tulsa program for urban watershed management, and innovative incentives that engage property owners in on-site stormwater management. Expected increases in region-wide development and urbanization, however, indicate that more can be done. New programs could include design competitions, education, and training for the creation of landscaping treatments on public as well as private land that absorbs stormwater while also providing some habitat such as rain and habitat gardens at schools, in backyards, and eco-roofs on municipal buildings.
