Bixby’s main goal is to provide the best possible
quality of life for our residents. We continue to
achieve this goal in two ways, by creating destination
attractions and providing opportunity for economic
growth. Bixby neighbors Oklahoma’s second largest
city, Tulsa. While Tulsa comprises over 200 square
miles, Bixby’s 25 square miles provides residents with
the “small town charm” while having ample access to
amenities and entertainment. For several
years running, Oklahoma Magazine
has awarded Bixby the Best Small
Town in Oklahoma award.
Growing more than double in
population since the beginning
of the 2000s, Bixby has become
Tulsa’s fastest-growing suburb,
packing in numerous destination
attractions into our 25 square miles.
Strategically we have planned outdoor lifestyle
attractions along the Arkansas River which flows
through the middle of our town. This creates not
only a beautiful and serene backdrop for events and
activity, but also increases our cities’ walkability.
Residents can visit Washington Irving Memorial Park
& Arboretum, a 32.5 acre wonderfully wooded park
located just north of the Arkansas River Bridge, and

River Corridor. The Corridor crosses Harmony Bridge
