The community of Skiatook, in northeastern Oklahoma, has a small town reputation as a quiet Tulsa suburb. Founded in 1872 and established as a trading post, Skiatook prides itself on its Pioneer Days Festival. The City of Skiatook has hired LandPlan to create Skiatook Central Park within the 10 acres of newly acquired railroad right of way immediately south of Highway 20. The proposed Skiatook Central Park Master Plan transforms the existing site, the former railroad maintenance area, into a more versatile home for the annual September Pioneer Days and an inviting community park the rest of the year. Integrating passive and active amenities throughout the park will attract both the younger and older generations to a community setting where activities for all coincide.

Conceptual plans for Skiatook Central Park include active areas with basketball courts, volleyball courts, horse shoe pits, a water splash pad, net climber, large playground area, and swings. Strolling visitors will find a small lake with fountain, an amphitheater/bandstand, picnic shelters, a community garden area, sculpture garden and a nicely landscaped park. Additional parking will be provided for increased park usage and open activity areas within the park will provide ample room for carnival tents during festivals.
