MAPS 4 continues open houses for city-wide park improvements
MAPS 4 continues a series of public open house events to gather input for the Neighborhood and Community Parks Master Plan. Residents are invited to share ideas on improvements to 105 community and neighborhood parks across Oklahoma City. Meetings for Groups D, E, F, G and H will be held in January and February.
MAPS 4 includes $69.6 million to upgrade every municipal neighborhood and community park outside of the central business district. Improvements will be based on onsite park assessments and current park standards, in addition to community feedback from the survey.
Amenities and potential improvements to neighborhood parks may include (but not limited to):
Informal practice fields/open space
• Walking trails
• Play structures
• Outdoor fitness facilities
• Picnic areas
• Park shelters
Additionally, potential improvements to community parks may include (but not limited to):
• Botanical/community gardens
• Playground equipment
• Bathrooms
• Shade structures
• Splashpads
• Trees
• Activity facilities
• Signage
Neighborhood and community parks upgrades are part of the $154 million budget for the MAPS 4 Parks project. $22.2 million will fund outdoor basketball and pickleball courts, community gardens, placemaking efforts at Lake Stanley Draper, renovations with Booker T. Washington Park, improvements at Minnis Lakeview Park, enhancements at the Northeast Community Center and building four new parks in Canadian County, Cleveland County, far northeast and southeast Oklahoma City. The project also includes $32.3 million to improve C.B. Cameron Park and South Lakes Park as well as $12.8 million for improvements along the Oklahoma River. Another $16.5 million is allocated for an operating fund to provide for the operations and maintenance of these park improvements.
