From organized programs at community centers to our tranquil walking trails, Tulsa County Parks provide you with many opportunities to enhance your health and wellness. Our care and maintenance of publicly owned trees, green spaces and parks protects and enhances Tulsa County’s natural environments. Together with the community and nature’s blessings, we work to preserve our entrusted lands for future generations to enjoy. We invite you to visit us soon. Sincerely,

CLOSES SECOND SATURDAY OF AUGUST
Park Friends, Inc. was created in 1976 with a vision to expand area parks and recreation opportunities beyond the traditional support base of public funding. We are a not-for-profit charitable organization, benefiting parks operated by Tulsa County and the City of Tulsa. The mission of Park Friends, Inc. is to promote interest in the development of Tulsa’s park system and encourage monetary or non-monetary gifts to the parks. We work closely with all park administrators by raising funds and making grants to fund activities that will preserve the natural beauty and historical significance of the entire Tulsa Parks System. We go beyond budgets by providing support to priority projects and activities, which ensure that each park is inspiring and beautiful for everyone. Park Friends, Inc. appropriates donations to the designated Tulsa County or a City of Tulsa park of an individual’s choice. Making a difference for the welfare and health of our entire community is a mission not only shared by us, but all of Tulsa and her sister cities. We have been instrumental in the facilitation of hundreds of thousands of dollars donated by businesses, civic groups and other organizations, as well as individuals from all walks of life for the development of Tulsa’s beautiful parks.

CARDIO KIDS
Cardio Kids is a movement education class geared toward 2 - 5 year olds. It is a fun, fast-moving class that is non-competitive and advances the children’s skill levels far beyond their years. The class focuses on flexibility, coordination and strength training as well as listening skills, all the while building self-esteem and confidence. Common tools are used to teach such as balls, bean bags, bandannas, hula hoops and jump ropes, so that parents may practice with their children at home. Our mission is to instill a love of movement and exercise in all children, because we know that daily exercise enhances a child’s cognitive learning.

CARDIO KIDS
Cardio Kids is a movement education class geared toward 2-5 year olds. It is a fun, fast-moving class that is non-competitive and advances the children’s skill levels far beyond their years. The class focuses on flexibility, coordination and strength training as well as listening skills, all while building self-esteem and confidence. Common items are used to teach such as balls, bean bag, bandannas, hula hoops and jump ropes so that parents may practice with their children at home. Our mission is to instill a love of movement and exercise in all children, because we know that daily exercise enhances a child’s cognitive learning. The instructor, Julie Bryant, developed the Cardio-Kids program 25 years ago while teaching dance classes. Register at www.cardio-kids.com. Minimum of 5 participants and a maximum of 12.
