Hope Playground at Whiteside Park

Located in Whiteside Park, Hope Playground is Tulsa’s most inclusive play destination. Designed with accessibility at its core, this playground ensures that children of all abilities can enjoy every feature. The playground features a nature-inspired design with exciting, inclusive components like the Super Netplex® play functionally linked to another sprawling ramped playstructure. Both of which are packed full of climbing, sliding and sensory play experiences for kids ages 5 to 12. Toddlers and preschoolers have a play space dedicated to their developmental needs, which includes hillside climbers and slides. In addition to these play areas, there are freestanding play components like the We-Go-Swing®, We-Saw™, Roller Table™ and Sway Fun® glider to ensure an inclusive experience for all. There’s even a fitness area for visitors ages 13 and up. The entire play space is covered with turf safety surfacing to provide a fully accessible route throughout the playground. Even the thoughtfully chosen color scheme accommodates children who are blind/low vision or who are colorblind, making it a welcoming space for all. Hope Playground is the largest of its kind in Oklahoma, funded by the Sanford and Irene Burnstein Family Foundation, which named it to inspire hope for future inclusive projects in Tulsa and beyond.
