The Heart in the Park
Love Is in the Air
If you only have time for a short stop to stretch your legs and breathe the fresh air, visit our Heart in the Park. The unique heart “maze” is a one-of-a-kind work of art. Find the center with a loved one. And if you have time, catch a sunset or even the stars.
A Hub of Entertainment
Newly opened in 2021, The Hub is a premier mixed-ages, mixed-entertainment venue, featuring the longest bar in Oklahoma (65 ft). Make it a night out, or make it fun for the whole family and enjoy the bowling alley, movie theater, and arcade.
