Florence Park in midtown Tulsa – Homes for Sale and Market Update, July 2009 - Florence Park was platted in the 1920s and is a culmination of several subdivisions. The northern boundary of Florence Park is 15th Street (sometimes known as Cherry Street); the southern boundary is 21st Street; eastern boundary is Harvard and western boundary is the BA Expressway. 
Made up of mostly craftsman bungalows, the architectural styles are varied and unique. I heard once that builders moved to Florence Park after the completion of Maple Ridge, but the homes in Florence Park are much smaller with small lot sizes. The average lot is 50-feet by 130-feet, so the homes are closer together on very deep lots.
Most Florence Park homes were built in the 1920s and 1930s and of course include the architectual and historical detail of midtown homes that we so love: hardwood floors, arched doorways, windows galore, covered porches and detached garages.
The Florence Park Neighborhood Association is active with attendance of members above one-hundred at their quarterly meetings. The Association promotes block parties, tree-planting, and safety and security awareness in the neighborhood.
A quarterly newsletter goes out, of which I am the Editor – see our recent issue here. At the top of residents’ priority list is general up-keep, improvement and maintenance of the two parks within the neighborhood: Platt Park and Florence Park. On this page, you'll find a list of current Board of Directors, Block Captains, Committee Chairs and upcoming events for the Florence Park Neighborhood Association.
Pratt Park is on Florence Avenue between 16th and 17th streets and is a great place to gather and charcoal with neighbors. Florence Park is on the southern boundary of the subdivision and includes playground equipment, water spray fountain and tennis courts. New trees are being planted and painting is being done in both parks at this time. 
I fell in love with Florence Park in midtown Tulsa when I first moved here after college graduation and swore I would live there someday. I bought a home there in 1998 and still own it today.
