Bixby Life Style
Bixby remains a town that cares about its
citizens. The small-town atmosphere is quaint and charming,
though nearby Tulsa provides a rich array of recreational and
cultural activities. Nonetheless, Bixby claims many unique
attributes. Plenty of fertile farmland, fresh water, and
economical energy have led Bixby to be nicknamed the "Garden
Spot of Oklahoma". Bixby also boasts a low crime rate and the
ability to retain an old-fashioned quality of life despite
enormous growth in the area. Organizations, such as the Bixby
Historical Society, and attractions that include Irving Memorial
Park, are continuously retelling the rich heritage of this area
in an effort to preserve it in the 21st century. Community
events that allow residents to interact are held throughout the
year. These events are for both adults and children and include
the Pumpkin Festival, the Pecan Show, and the Bixby Community
Center Arts & Crafts Show.
Bixby enjoys a convenient location just
miles south of Tulsa. Two five-lane transportation routes
(Memorial Drive and the new five-lane 151st Street (Highway 67)
provide quick access to all areas of the metro area.
