Newblock Park

Newblock Park is part of Tulsa Parks municipal parks system. It is located in northwest Tulsa, Oklahoma at 1710 Charles Page Blvd. It covers 84.6 acres (34.2 ha), and contains a few amenities (picnic tables, etc.), one non-manicured softball field, one manicured softball field (Forche Field), Waterworks Art Studio, and a junior municipal swimming pool (closed). The park, which opened in 1927, was named for Herman Frederick Newblock, who served four terms (1922 – 1928 and 1932 – 1934) as mayor of Tulsa.[1]

The Newblock Park Trail connects the Riverparks trail system to the Katy Trail and is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long.[2]
