Williams Lodge at Gathering Place is transforming into Tulsa's home for the holidays this December! You are invited to enjoy a variety of free activities while being immersed in the dreamy holiday decor inside Williams Lodge. Plus, take free photos with Santa and enjoy story time with Ms. Claus in front of the dazzling holiday tree every Saturday and Sunday through December 22 and December 23 and 24.

For the first time, Gathering Place now extends all the way to the Arkansas River, offering visitors a chance to enjoy the park's beauty right along the water at our brand-new QuikTrip Lakeview Lawn. Additionally, the park now connects to the west bank of the river via the new Williams Crossing pedestrian bridge. Visit Gathering Place to see the newest additions of USA TODAY's Best City Park 2024!
