Wonder when that playground or pickleball court will be finished in your neighborhood? Tulsa’s parks department has a new tool for tracking its projects across the city.
Using the new live map and dashboard, residents can see which capital improvement upgrades are completed and where active projects are in the construction process. Clicking on a dot shows the project’s estimated start and completion date, its estimated budget and its status when it comes to permitting, design and construction.
So far, the dashboard includes details on more than 200 projects across all council districts. Tulsans can also submit suggestions for improvements to community centers and parks.
Next on the department’s to-do list is an interactive dashboard focused on park maintenance, said Stacie Martin, the acting director of Tulsa Parks, Culture & Recreation.

During a Sept. 1 Tulsa Parks and Recreation Board meeting, Martin said the city gets lots of comments asking about trash and when a park will be mowed next.
“The goal is for the public to be able to go in and use, see when the next crew is going to be able to come,” Martin told board members. “If it’s an utter mess, there’s a place, a way for them to report to us, and you’ll also be able to see the horticulture crew and their schedule.”
If you want to know when improvements to a city road, water line or other infrastructure system will be completed, check this dashboard for details.
