In 1988 the City published the Master Drainage Plan for Southwest Tulsa, and in 1994 voter approved 2.89 million for bridge improvements and flood control measures on Mooser Creek. The citizens later participated in the Mooser Creek Greenway plan. The genesis of the project included public involvement and a final plan with a schedule of tasks and a budget. The plan proposes a greenway along Mooser Creek that would prevent flooding , preserve floodplains and wildlife habitat, restore water quality, improve property values, and help meet the areas future transportation, recreation and educational needs. ( Mooser Creek Greenway plan pg.1-2 ).
As recommended in the Comprehensive Plan for the city, Mooser Creek Greenway will link together the watershed’s major recreation areas and facilities, including Turkey Mountain. A multi-purpose trail on the south side of Mooser main stream will connect with the River Parks’ system on the west bank of the Arkansas River. Nature trails will link Page Belcher and West Highlands Park with Lubell Park, Bales Park, and the YMCA Camp via the public and private school. The Greenway trails will allow citizens to access the watersheds many educational opportunities and institutions.
