Jenks was named the “Antique Capital of Oklahoma” by the former first lady of Oklahoma, Shirley Bellmon, and the many stores that call Main Street home keep that tradition going. Visitors can park and walk all day browsing vintage wares alongside new and repurposed offerings.

Spring days are perfect for enjoying the sunshine and admiring the flower pots full of tulips, provided by the Jenks Garden Club.

In the winter months, the streets are lined with glimmering snowflakes. Their light illuminates the hearts of those that stroll down the sidewalks.

A pedestrian bridge links the Jenks riverfront area with the [[Tulsa]] Riverparks walking trail on the East side of the river.
