River Parks offers outdoor recreation and seasonal entertainment along the banks of the Arkansas River in Tulsa. Over 26 miles of asphalt trails on both banks are used for jogging, walking, bicycling and rollerblading. Parking, restrooms, picnic areas and playgrounds are scattered throughout the park, and striped bass and catfish are plentiful below the dam attracting anglers to the riverbanks and handicapped-accessible fishing piers. The Tulsa Wave Park offers 500 feet of rapids along the west bank of the Arkansas River and the Pedestrian Bridge, a focal point at 29th St, are popular sites for visitors.

There is also a disc golf course. Entertainment venues include the Reynolds floating stage and an amphitheatre on the west bank of the river.
