Welcome to Tulsa Learning Park Institute
Tulsa Learning Park Institute:
New Vision for Public Education
The Tulsa Learning Park Institute is creating a public place for learning where people of all ages come to explore, create, and grow together. Inspired by the innovative ideas of the Corrales Institute for New Education, our Learning Park will be a vibrant community hub — part city park, part workshop, part classroom, and part marketplace — designed to foster joyful lifelong learning, creativity, and connection.
What is a Learning Park?
A Learning Park is a living, welcoming space where learning happens naturally through doing, sharing, and connecting. It’s a place people want to be because it is vital and nourishing. Here’s what you can find in the Learning Park:
-
Friendly spaces to learn new skills by working alongside others
-
Small businesses and shops that double as workshops and apprenticeship labs
-
Gardens, studios, theaters, and play areas that nurture creativity and well-being
- Opportunities to connect with nature, tools, culture, and neighbors of all ages
-
Community spots for conversation, meditation, and celebrating culture
At its heart, the Tulsa Learning Park Institute will be an environment where curiosity, creativity, and community thrive together.
