Update: Where things stand on Turkey Mountain vs. the outlet mall

I’d emphasize that no one I’ve talked to is against building an outlet mall. We’d just prefer to see it built somewhere else. And for the future, it would be good for all the stakeholders involved — the city, land owners, trail users, and so forth — to come up with a long-term use plan that would help us preserve the city’s lone open and wild green space.

Turkey Mountain is a special place, a unique facet to the city of Tulsa. Large numbers of people get outside, get healthy and spend time with their families out here. Tulsa has fine parks, but this is one of those rare places within the city limits where you can get outside and be in a truly natural setting. If we lose it, it’s never coming back.

Supporters Create Petition To Keep Turkey Mountain Trails Open

“It’s happened before you know, where we’ve been threatened and we’ve been successful, so hopefully this time we will be,” said Turkey Mountain supporter, Dave Ridilla.

Outlet mall could affect Turkey Mountain trails that cross private land

“Trail users at Turkey Mountain go wherever,” said Matt Meyer. “It is kind of a self-made trail that spills over onto private land.”
