At the corner of Main Street and W. 3rd (E. Broadway), is a small triangular memorial park dedicated to town founder, Charles Page. At the east edge of this park is a free standing Centennial clock surrounded by shrubbery.
This is a four-faced clock with Roman numerals. Above the clock face, facing West is the name of the town, Sand Springs. The clock is standing on a brick base. On the ground in front of it is a bronze plaque reading: "Oklahoma Centennial / 1907-2007 / Centennial Clock". Beneath this is a list of contributors, and the names of the City Council at that time.
In 2007, during the celebration of Oklahoma's 100 years of statehood, clocks of this type were made available, and have been purchased by hundreds of towns and businesses.
