McNulty Park, Tulsa

Here's my take on Tulsa's McNulty Park:

Google Drive Link to McNulty Park.

McNulty Park was home to the Tulsa Oilers from 1919-1929, a very successful period for that team as they won 6 Western League pennants in that stretch. It is likely best known these days as a detention site for Black residents of Tulsa during 1921's Tulsa Race Massacre, which nearly led to me abandoning this model while I was doing the research for it. But I figured since the Chicago American Giants and Kansas City Monarchs were willing to play there 5 years later, I should be willing to model it 100 years later.

It's a hitter's park for sure, with home runs inflated by about a factor of 2 thanks to short fences. I couldn't find a Sanborn map with it, but its dimensions are in Green Cathedrals, and it's present in a 1924 aerial shot of downtown Tulsa (show below)...

Enjoy!
