Osage Nation to take over state park that was about to close
Posted: Tuesday, July 12, 2011
The Osage Nation has agreed to take over a park from the state of Oklahoma.
The 1,100-acre Wah-Sha-She State Park is located in Osage County. The tribe will take control after Labor Day.
“Being a good neighbor, whether it is with the State of Oklahoma or nearby local and county governments, was a priority of mine when I took office last year,” Chief John Red Eagle said in a press release. “This is just one example of how I plan to deliver on that promise.”
The state was going to close the park due to budget cuts.
