Sand Springs, Sand Springs, OK

## Overview Sand Springs, Oklahoma, takes its name from the natural springs that once defined this community along the Arkansas River. This public drinking spring, located near 651 E Charles Page Blvd, is one of the area's accessible natural water features and sits right alongside a paved bicycle trail. The spring area has been improved with decking and railings, offering visitors a comfortable spot to sit and enjoy the surroundings. The city of Sand Springs itself was founded in 1911 by oilman Charles Page, who established a home for orphans and widows on land near the natural sand springs that gave the area its name. The springs have long been a defining landmark of the community, and this particular spring continues to flow as a reminder of that heritage. While the water has historically been associated with the natural springs of the area, current water quality has not been independently verified. Visitors interested in water quality may wish to contact the local Sand Springs water department for any available testing results, or consider having the water tested independently. ## Directions 1.
