EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Oklahoma City is on an impressive track towards national urban prominence with a vibrant economy, an admired massive infrastructure program, a growing presence in the worlds of professional sports and Olympic and amateur rowing, and an increasing arts and cultural scene. Its gleaming new Devon Energy Center and sparkling redesigned Myriad Botanical Gardens park and conservatory make for a riveting downtown focal point. Plans for a vibrant Central Park and downtown neighborhood bode well for a more walkable urban future in Oklahoma City. The city’s success has attracted growth downtown and at the fringes. The City of Oklahoma City government (the City) is looking for ways to continue providing services and facilities—from transportation to public safety to parks—in established neighborhoods as well as brand new neighborhoods. What Oklahoma City needs is a new parks plan—a clear and compelling vision for its park system over the coming decades—to mirror other advances that the city has accomplished. 6 Oklahoma City Parks Master Plan Executive Summary 7 This Parks Master Plan—funded by the City of Oklahoma City and The 2005 Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan also did the Oklahoma City Community Foundation—is a plan for parks within a thorough, standards-based analysis of park service areas and the City of Oklahoma City.

  • The Way Downtown Is Supposed to Be
    The Way Downtown is Supposed to Be Downtown OKC It’s known as “the place to be.” In Oklahoma City, a revitalization has firmly taken hold with public and private investment combining to put in motion more than $6 billion in projects and building since 1995. More than 55,000 people work downtown, including high-tech and health care industries as well as high- paying energy jobs, not to mention professional basketball players. Ideal for both living and working, Downtown’s various districts are becoming a magnet for the “creative class,” and fittingly a number of corporate headquarters and new housing developments are located here. In fact, Oklahoma City is bucking the trends and downtown population has actually increased 15% since 2000. It’s the new urban vibe without the old urban grit.
