Attractions included multi-story fireplaces, a 5-acre adventure playground, mist mountain water feature, boathouse, sensory garden, skate and bike parks,sports courts, natural trails, and a reading tree*. The park cost more than $400 million to build, most of it privately funded, and a good chunk of that from Tulsa billionaire George Kaiser. It took 4 years to build. * The reading tree was inspired by the oldest cottonwood tree at Gathering Place. A challenge was accepted by Tulsa students and completed of reading 2 million books by the time the park opened in September, 2018.
