Also considered are the facilities, needs, plans and future growth. The geographic location and its effects on the parks are included. The writer lived seven years in Tulsa during his boyhood and was graduated from the suburban Union High School. He has since been employed as a teacher in the Tulsa Public Schools, and served as a counselor in the Tulsa Park System during the summer of 1956. Since there is very little published material that would assist this study, the writer relied on field study, having visited and studied all the present parks and other areas that have been acquired for future development. Supervisors and members of the Tulsa Park System were interviewed regarding the various problems, functions and duties of the personnel, and the effectiveness of the entire Tulsa System. Any opinions stated are those of the writer and do not necessarily represent the belief of the officials of the Tulsa Park System or ... sources quoted. The writer wishes to express his gratitude to Dr.
