All Tulsa Parks and Recreation centers will be closed on Tuesday, February 18, and Wednesday, February 19, due to "life threatening weather". City closures also include Centennial, Oxley Nature Center, and Tulsa Garden Center.
Mohawk and Page Belcher Golf Courses will be CLOSED until at least Friday. Re-opening will be determined by course conditions.
The Williams Crossing Pedestrian Bridge and unheated restrooms will be closed until at least Thursday. Trails will not be plowed until snowfall has ceased so trails may be hazardous.
The Tulsa Zoo will be closed Tuesday through Thursday.
The Tulsa Performing Arts Center, BOK event center, and Convention Center will be closed to the public Tuesday and Wednesday. At this point, public events scheduled for this weekend will go on as planned.
The incoming weather has been called "near blizzard conditions" by the director of Tulsa Area Emergency Agency over the next couple of days in Tulsa.
We plan to re-open Parks and recreation centers on Thursday, February 20, but that also depends on the conditions of the weather in the next couple of days. Be sure to look for updates on social media.
