Funtastic Island

This weeks field trip was taken on Wednesday instead of Friday due to the weather. I wasn't sure what it would be like on Friday. The weather called for rain and 60's. It was cloudy and windy but still nice enough to have fun.


I decided to take the kids out to a park in Owasso, Oklahoma. Its a suburb of Tulsa about 20 minutes away. The City of Owasso is one of the oldest existing communities in Tulsa County. Owasso is a Cherokee word meaning "trail 's end" or "end of the trail". In the past 5-10 years or so Owasso has started to boom. The city has everything you can want and more. Here's a link for those who are interested in visiting, http://cityofowasso.com/. 

The park that I chose is called Funtastic Island. Its three acres of fun! The park is completely ramped so that all children can enjoy the many slides, climbing apparatuses and monkey bars. It even has a merry-go-round! There are also three bronze statues that depict kids playing. The playground is surrounded by a fence so there's only one way in and one way out.







When we arrived there was no one there. It was about 12 noon. We were there about an hour and that's when it started to pick up. Lots of kids started to show up. Its a very popular place. It also has bathroom and a covered picnic area should you decide to take a picnic lunch. All in all I give it a 5 star rating.
