BOULDER ON THE PARK: Founders, Faith & Bicycles
Saturday, September 20, 2025

$20 | $15 | Start Times from 8:30 - 9:30 AM

DESCRIPTION: Explore the rich history, architecture, and culture in Boulder on the Park: Founders, Faith, and Bicycles. This unique walking tour weaves through one of Tulsa's most dynamic corridors, showcasing the stories and structures that define the area.

From bold architectural statements to intimate community spaces, this tour offers an in-depth look at how visionaries, builders, and everyday Tulsans have shaped this neighborhood. Whether you're a history buff, an architecture enthusiast, or simply curious, this tour will leave you inspired by the stories etched into Boulder Avenue.

Highlights include the mid-century marvel of the Abundant Life Building, a testament to Tulsa’s post-war optimism and faith-driven ambition, and the Brutalist elegance of the Brut Hotel, a contemporary gem that redefines modern hospitality. You'll also visit Pony Coffee (formerly G. Oscar Bicycle) where history meets community spirit in a space that celebrates movement and connection and stroll through Dreamkeepers Park, a tranquil green space honoring service and sacrifice, as we explore its evolution alongside the city.
