    Walking through Oklahoma City, I was impressed by the numbers of gardens and green spaces…read more Loved my stroll through Meinders Garden on a sunny spring day in April. The sky was blue accented with clouds. The weather was so pleasant. It was nice to take a walk, just relaxing and enjoying the moment. Parking was also so easy and very inexpensive. Parallel parked for just $2 an hour at the garden. What a treat while enjoying nature.

    Review #44 Location:…read more This garden is on the northeast corner of Myriad Botanical Gardens, across from the Colcord Hotel; where N Robinson Ave & Ron Norick Blvd meet to the east of the garden, & W Sheridan Ave on the north side. Reno Ave is to the south. The official address for the Myriad Botanical Gardens is 301 W Reno Ave, OKC, OK 73102. Description: A specialty garden with ponds, walking paths, trees, flowers in the spring and summer, and a terrace for events. There is a large fountain at the entrance on the NE corner. Parking/Transportation: There is limited metered street parking around the gardens. You have to either park a few blocks away off the street or park in one of 6 parking garages, which are anywhere from 1-4 blocks away. Even better, you can use the new OKC Streetcar and get off at the Myriad Gardens stop on the northwest side on S Hudson Ave. Basic Info: This garden is one of two specialty gardens within the Myriad Gardens 17-acre Square. The two specialty gardens were funded by the Herman and LaDonna Meinders Foundation. (Side note: Wow, now I've heard of a 7th woman with my 1st name; although there are many in Italy and elsewhere I just haven't heard of many.). This garden was constructed in 1997 and completed in 1998. Side note: I created this business on Yelp and added the first pictures and tips. I've actually created close to 100 or more on Yelp, but I haven't tracked all the ones I've done; as I was too busy giving compliments, liking pictures, tips and check-ins, of my Yelp friends and others on Yelp!

    These are some great trails right next to the Oklahoma River!!…read more Paved and flat, until you go under some of the bridges here, this was a great spot for me to get my runs in while I was here!! Easy parking, you will see the occasional runner or biker here depending on when you come. I did see a group run also! Along with the river, you do get some good views of the OKC skyline here!!

    If you like long distance biking without a lot of incline or congestion, then the Oklahoma River…read moreTrails are for you. I mean, who wouldn't want to go fast without having to zig-zag in between runners, families or other bikes? The trail is well paved with the occasional slight gravel, which is totally avoidable. The path is somewhat like a large 13 mile oval shape, without any street crossings or stop signs. This would be a perfect spot to train for races. I would not recommend bringing your families on the trail just because road bikers are going fairly fast. Wouldn't want a little one stumbling in front of a bike going 20-30 miles a hour. For the sake of runners, the unseen corners are well marked with caution signs and there are two lanes to avoid collision. Overall it's a beautiful spot, there are geese and some other water fowl and the sun hits the river perfectly. There's a moment where you are riding beside a view of the city as well as the beautiful trail. This is probably the least congested biking trail I've been to in Oklahoma City. I would recommend starting at/ parking at Devon Boathouse at Regatta Park. There's also additional parking across the street. I could see this place being a good spot for group bikers as well, it's not far from Bricktown if you want to ride into the city a little bit to grab a bite to eat.

    On a quiet weekday morning, the Centennial Land Run Monument feels almost cinematic. All that…read morebronze motion is frozen in a moment of time along the Bricktown Canal. The whole installation commemorates the Land Run of 1889, when settlers surged into the Unassigned Lands to stake homesteads in what would become Oklahoma Territory. The scale of the installation here is enormous, with dozens of figures charging forward. Horses stretched mid-stride, wagons tilting, every dace carved with urgency. One has clearly fallen in their haste. It really does tell the tale. We had the place mostly to ourselves which made it easy to slow and take in the detail. The only interruption was a family who decided the clearly posted "no climbing" sign was more of a suggestion than a rule and that's why we can't have nice things. Grrr! But even that didn't take away from the artistry. Paul Moore spent more than twenty years bringing this to life and the result is one of the largest bronze sculpture installations in the world, honoring the settlers who raced out on April 22, 1889.

The Monument consists of 47 bronze statues in total. This includes 38 people, 34 horses, three wagons, a cannon, a dog, and a frightened jackrabbit. They are all bigger than life and has such great detail. I think you could stand there for hours and never see all of the details. It stands at about 100 yards or so and stretches across a small river. Well worth the visit. Best access is then the bass pro parking lot all the way to the back and under the interstate.

    I really love visiting gardens, so I saw several on a long weekend trip to Oklahoma City…read more The Crystal Bridge Conservatory is located in Myriad Botanical Gardens. This is such a unique space that "floats" over a water feature in the garden. Nice to explore the three level conservatory with a diverse collection of tropical plants, art installations, a reflecting pool, and a two-level waterfall. It is a very interactive space. The "Cloud Portal" sculpture designed by Scott Murase divides the north and south ends of the conservatory. You can walk through the installation which frames views of the waterfall at one end and the reflecting pool at other side. Explore the tropical paradise. Climb to the second and third levels to get a birds-eye view of the cascading waterfalls from the lookout. Check out the bromeliads, orchids, and aloe plants. Love the Crown of Thorns, Peacock Flowers, Desert Roses and Blue Agave. The Chenille Plants looked so soft. The Spiral Ginger plants almost look like pineapples. Take a walk on the Sensory Skywalk for a different view. Stop to smell the different plants along the way. I used my Graycliff Martins Level Museum pass for reciprocal admission. Parking is just $2 per hour with a two-hour maximum via the meters or the parking app. A highlight of my trip to Oklahoma City.

The inside is segmented into the different areas with plants tht are native to those areas. It has 2 levels and the second level puts you up in the canopy and you have a great view. Everything is pretty much handicap accessible with elevators and ramps. It does get very warm and humid inside especially in the summer months so be prepared for tht. Great stop and priced pretty decent.

I could have lived anywhere, but I chose to stay in my hometown. Some days, especially election days, this decision makes me wonder if I need a psych evaluation. But on a n ight like the night of Starlight Supper, I know I am of sound mind and body. Because nights like this are why I chose to stay. A couple of lovely people were passionate about the need for a clinic at Emerson School. They happen to also be passionate about food, wine, and the importance of a few evenings in one's life spent in repose, dining under the stars in the crisp night sky and few hundred thousand twinkle lights. They happen to know how to blend those two passions into a massive fundraiser (seemingly just by smiling and calling in a few hundred of the thousands of favors they've done over the years). The four courses were amazing: I guess that's what you get when you ask four of the city's best chefs to harness their power and create a course of a meal, crafted to be remembered for a long time to come. It probably didn't hurt that LOCAL, Flint and Urban Wine Works are some of my faves - I haven't been to Vast yet but surely I will love it. The champagne cocktail from LOCAL was my favorite drink of the evening, but I certainly enjoyed the several different kinds of wine from Urban Wine Works, my home away from home. One of those nights where you bump into a lot of folks you like, a few you love, and one or two you'd happily give a kidney. Sitting in the shadow of two of my favorite buildings in Downtown OKC, 17 years after I first started working Downtown, I just had to smile and be so thankful for the opportunity to live this life in the city I love.
