Riverside location south of downtown Tulsa
Tulsa’s southward expansion has created an ever-increasing network of desirable neighborhoods, each with its own selling point. Major highways border some communities; others sit on the fringes of the Arkansas River or offer well-appointed city parks. South Peoria can claim all three. “It’s kind of sandwiched in between there — you have access to the nation’s number one free park, and you’re just down the road from the Tulsa Hills shopping center,” says Adriana Fout, owner and managing broker for Elevate Realty. Access to Riverside Drive and Interstate 44 help the neighborhood’s stock rise even further. “I have several rental properties in South Peoria, and I sell a lot in that area,” Fout says. “It’s probably one of our hottest areas because it’s accessible to everything.”
Take Riverside Drive from South Peoria to Gathering Place, then on to downtown Tulsa.
Helmerich Park is located along the miles of bike and walking trails of RiverParks Trails.
Gathering Place is a truly unique park, open to the public and always free.

River Parks offer waterside trails for cycling, jogging
Tulsa’s River Parks Authority maintains 26 miles of asphalt-paved trails along the banks of the Arkansas River. Two of those miles border South Peoria, offering opportunities for cycling, walking and jogging. Separate paths for cycling and foot traffic meander past sculptures of frolicking animals, including a rendering of a mama bear and her cubs atop a cascading stone fountain. Along the way, the trails pass through Johnson Park, a riverside green space featuring a playground and sports fields. Mature trees cloak the picnic area and playground in cooling shade at dog-friendly Heller Park, which also features tennis and basketball courts. Members of the Southern Hills Country Club can access an 18-hole PGA Championship course. The neighborhood is 3 miles south of the Gathering Place, the crown jewel of Tulsa’s recreational offerings. The 70-acre space is impeccably landscaped and features innovative playgrounds, ponds, walking trails and a sensory garden.

Lacing up for the Route 66 Marathon
The River Parks system hosts festivals throughout the year. A few, like the July Fourth Folds of Honor FreedomFest celebration and Tulsa Oktoberfest, take place in River West Festival Park, about three miles away on the other side of the river. November’s Route 66 Marathon starts in downtown Tulsa and cruises along Riverside Drive for several miles. While the course doesn’t extend into South Peoria, area traffic is affected by the event, which also includes a relay, a half marathon, a 5K and a fun run. The most extensive collection of Judaica in the American Southwest is housed in the Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art, a brick-and-glass edifice off East 71st Street. Another interesting local attraction is the Vintage Sewing Center and Museum, where visitors can use vintage and antique sewing machines, sign up for classes and learn about the history of this practical device.
