They have started construction on the new Meshri park at 31st and Peoria.  It's going to be a very elegant addition to the neighborhood and a beautiful addition to the entrance of Brookside.  It will feature a sculpture and water feature.



I'll post more images as the construction continues.

That's cool. It will also help to soften brookside's sudden start/stop at crow creek.

Exactly! . . . and it's planned to push a more pedestrian friendly transition.  Now we need to work on the South side of Brookside.

That is beautiful!  It would be cool if the Brookside area had prominent signage demarcating the borders of the neighborhood.

I'm glad there is going to be a sidewalk.  We've been watching that lot and joking about how anyone going to the park will have to risk their life on either Peoria or 31st to get to it!

No, It's just a neighborhood park.  Small, but complex.  Grab a coffee at Shades of Brown and stroll up to the park.[8D]

It's a touching story.  Dr. Sanjay Meshri lost his wife, Dr. Indu Meshri several years ago and has sought to give something as a monument to her.  This was a very emotional project for him.

The Meshri's are good people and a credit to Tulsa.

So is south "up" on this drawing?  Is this on the SW corner of 31st and Peoria?

I think this park is more for decorative purposes than anything. Its not very large and doesnt look over anything other than an intersection. Would make a sweet bus stop but dont know if its too close to the corner to be used as one, and there isnt really anything around it to warrant a bus stop.  But hey, I do not want to complain about anyone wanting to spruice up any spot in Tulsa. Will make the drive, or stop, in the area look that much nicer and will add a nice touch to any walk or bikeride through the area.

No.  It is the North West corner.
