Best local park for social distancing meet-ups
Scissortail Park
300 SW 7th St.
When I-40 was relocated a few blocks south, what once was an ugly bunch of dilapidated buildings and junkyards was suddenly the gateway to downtown. City planners saw an opportunity and with the generous aid of taxpayers, the third round of MAPS provided the funds for a completely new 40-acre park. The park has been a smash hit with paddle boats, an outdoor skating rink, a great lawn and many socially-distance events. It’s simply a great place to get out and walk and be outside and when the lower park is complete in two years, it will connect the central business district to the Oklahoma River.
