Woody Guthrie Center, Tulsa

Guthrie Green is a beautiful multipurpose park that provides pretty much anything you could want for an afternoon of fun. The main draw for me is the event space. The stage is well designed, with good acoustics and great sight lines from pretty much everywhere in the park. There is plenty of seating on the grass directly in front of the stage, as well as chairs and steps further back. The city of Tulsa hosts a number of free concerts throughout the summer and fall so the stage is put to good use. There all also a variety of cool fountains and formations running along the edges of the grass. It's pretty much perfect for kids and the occasional overly-warm adult. There is also a permanent restaurant at the "bacK" of the park for those who might want food or need beer.

Had a few hours to chill in Tulsa, so visited the Woody Guthrie Center. It does charge to visit $12, and you can stay until they close. It's a nice museum full of musical instruments that Guthrie played and owned, and hand written songs he wrote. I spent an hour here, but could have stayed two hours. Overall, it was enjoyable.
