One of the local favorites, you’ll find the downtown crowd dancing in the gardens, walking dogs, sharing a picnic, listening to free concerts and enjoying the beauty of this 17-acre urban botanical garden. At the center of the Myriad Gardens is the Crystal Bridge Conservatory, which houses plant collections, sculptural points of interest, overlook terraces and a waterfall feature.

Scissortail Park is Oklahoma City's 70-acre urban oasis, extending from the core of downtown to the shore of the Oklahoma River. Stroll through the gardens and groves, relax on the lawn, catch a concert or live performance, play like a kid on the Children's Playground and get on the water with pedal boat, kayak and standup board rentals from the Boathouse. Lower Scissortail Park is all about recreation, including basketball, soccer, futsal and pickleball, as well as a new sports pavilion and 32 acres of open green space. Every detail is designed for connection – with nature and neighbors.

Built as a tribute to “those who were killed, those who survived, and those who were changed forever,” the Oklahoma City National Memorial has become a profound statement of the resolve, hope and community spirit that grew after the Murrah Bombing. Designed to be seen by day and by night – they truly are different experiences – the grounds also house the Memorial Museum, a project to educate the public about the tragedy, its impact and the resiliency of Oklahoma City.
