Hunter Park Is South Tulsa’s Best All-in-One Outdoor Destination

Some parks give you a couple of benches and a swing set. Hunter Park gives you 71 acres, an 18-hole disc golf course, a fishing pond, a splash pad, basketball courts, a labyrinth, and one of the best dog parks in the city. It’s a full afternoon without spending a dime.

Located at 5804 E. 91st Street in South Tulsa, Hunter Park draws regulars from across the metro — dog owners, disc golfers, families with kids, anglers, and people who just want somewhere peaceful to walk. It’s free to enter, open daily, and covers enough ground that you can easily spend a few hours without retracing your steps.

Disc Golf at Hunter Park Tulsa

Hunter Park has been my favorite disc golf course in the Tulsa area since I first played it over a decade ago, and it has only gotten better since then. Widely considered one of the top two disc golf courses in Tulsa, it’s the kind of layout that earns that reputation honestly — not because of hype, but because it’s genuinely well-designed and well-maintained.

The course was established in 1998 and originally designed by Steve Harney, with a later redesign by Kevin McCoy. Multiple pin positions give it real versatility: long baskets average 366 feet with a par of 57, while the short configuration averages 311 feet at par 55. The layout opens in dense woods before following a creek and finishing with longer, more open holes. That progression — technical and wooded early, then stretched out at the end — makes for a satisfying round no matter which pin set is in play.

The course has hosted some significant events over the years, including the 2024 PDGA Junior World Championship, the 2025 Junior North American Disc Golf Championships, and multiple Oklahoma Opens. That kind of tournament pedigree says something.

A few things to know before you go: creek crossings are required on certain holes and there are no bridges, so footing can get slick after rain. Poison ivy is present in the wooded sections. Concrete tees throughout. 

Biscuit Acres Dog Park

Hunter Park is home to Benjamin’s Biscuit Acres, a 2.5-acre off-leash dog park with separate fenced areas for large and small dogs. The small dog section is for dogs under 30 pounds. Both areas have water fountains, shade sails, poop bags, and a dog rinse station near the exit so you’re not loading a muddy dog directly into your car.

Entry is through a double-gate system, which helps prevent escapes. The park is well-maintained — closed on Mondays and Tuesdays specifically to allow for cleaning. Hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on open days. Dogs must be spayed or neutered if over six months old, and children under 12 are not permitted inside the dog park area.

It’s one of only a handful of dedicated off-leash dog parks in Tulsa, and the size and amenities make it a clear step above most.

Fishing the Hunter Park Pond

The fishing pond sits at roughly two acres and has four docks, some with handicap-accessible access. The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation manages stocking, which currently includes hybrid sunfish and channel catfish. The pond also has an established population of largemouth bass and various sunfish species.

Non-residents accessing the area may be required to check in and out through the Oklahoma Wildlife Department’s system, but there’s no additional fee. The Lake Office number is (918) 596-7275 if you have questions before your visit.

The Splash Pad and Playground

From Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, Hunter Park runs a water playground with interactive features — tumbling water buckets, water cannons, and other elements that go well beyond a basic splash pad. Hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the summer season. To activate the water features, press the button on the fire hydrant at the water playground.

The park also has a large playground with swings, four basketball goals, and adult fitness equipment located near the parking lot.

The Labyrinth and Walking Trails

One unique feature at Hunter Park is a painted labyrinth. It’s a classical 11-circuit Chartres pattern painted on a concrete slab that used to be a basketball court, situated next to the parking lot. The maze spans 60 feet across with a half-mile walking path — no dead ends, just an in-and-out route. It’s a nice enough amenity if that’s your thing. 

There’s a large rock in the center of the labyrinth and a fun game that disc golfers play after their rounds is trying to toss a putter onto the rock from the corner of the slab. Just don’t try it if people are actually walking there. 

Paved walking and biking trails run throughout the park as well. The park sits on a rolling hill, so there’s a noticeable elevation gain from the entrance up to the parking lot — accessible, but not flat.

Picnic Shelters and Amenities

Restrooms are available throughout the park and are always open without requiring a key. Picnic shelters can be reserved for private events and are otherwise first-come, first served. Shelters include grills and access to electricity (110V, suitable for small electronics only, not inflatables). To book, call (918) 596-1444. 

The parking lot is fairly large but it can definitely get full on a nice day. The park is open daily from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.
