Flat Rock Creek soft-surface trails

Summary

Tulsa Parks wants about nine miles of hiking and biking trails across roughly 200 acres of floodplain land north of East 36th Street, plus two gated parking lots. Neighbors want details on fencing, parking, tree removal and security — and some are angry about trail builders trespassing — so the case returns December 8 after an open house.
