Charles Page Triangle
Our most prominent park, the 'Triangle' features a life-size bronze statue that honors the founder of Sand Springs, Charles Page. The bronze was unveiled on November 20, 1930. Donated by the Sand Springs Home and the Page family, the statue's inscribed message reads:
“Inasmuch as ye have done it unto of the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me.”
Most towns have a town square, but because Sand Springs offered trolley service, the Triangle (and associated curve) offered trolleys a means to turn the corner.
A time capsule was buried in the triangle in June of 1987 during the 75th birthday celebration for our city. Enclosed are city plans, newspapers, maps and other pertinent information. The time capsule will be opened during the cities 100th birthday celebration in 2012.
Charles Page Triangle Park is the focus of many special events held in our community, including the famous Herbal Affair, Tuesdays on the Triangle, and parades of all kinds.
