"If you live in Edmond, check out Mitch Park for your next family photo session. There are plenty of off-the-trail locations that are just perfect for family pictures. If you like the tall grass with the sunset in the background, this park is for you!"
"If skateboarding or BMX is more your thing, the metro features three skate parks, including Mat Hoffman Action Sports Park, with an 11-foot half pipe, a 10-foot over-vert pocket, and a street course and bowl course. Ranked in the top 10 skate parks in the U.S., the action park is divided into two areas – a flow course with bowl combinations and a street course with ledges and handrails. This 26,000-square-foot outdoor sports park for BMX riders, skateboarders and rollerbladers, is the state’s largest and most challenging."

"The Route 66 Park includes a watchtower, an amphitheatre and a scaled down walkable version of Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles with seals for the most important towns along the road."
"A smooth, flat, wide, easy 2.6-mile trail meanders in and out of dense woods and farmland and follows the tucks and turns of the North Canadian River after it re-emerges out of Lake Overholser to the south. The 1,000-acre refuge was named one of the 100 largest city parks in the United States and is home to an extensive bottomland hardwood forest. There is something wonderfully ancient and primitive about this part of the North Canadian River as it passes through the refuge; pterodactyl-like great blue herons soar, prehistoric-looking turtles grapple for space on submerged logs and the ghostly shadows of great horned owls abound.Tucked away among the vast urban sprawl of Oklahoma City, Stinchcomb offers a rare glimpse of the metro’s stunning natural history."
"Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge on the far west side of the metro is adjacent to Lake Overholser and features a thousand acres of hiking, fishing, bird watching and exploring. Whitetail deer, beaver, egrets, cormorants and hundreds of species of migratory birds and waterfowl move through Stinchcomb regularly."
"Chef Henry Boudreaux is a big believer in extremely fresh, locally sourced ingredients – just ask him – which makes Plaza District restaurant Aurora a natural choice for those eating healthy: salads, fresh fruit yogurt bowl, avocado toast, that sort of thing. However, the open faced BLT is startlingly good thanks to its zing of pesto aioli, and if you’re looking to treat yourself, the sourdough French toast with crème Anglaise and mixed berries is pure, sweet perfection on a plate. 1704 NW 16th, OKC -NV"
"What is it: A relatively new brunch fixture in the Plaza District that boasts an inventive menu and the Instagrammable decor to match. Why go: Whether you’re looking for a spot to nurse your hangover or a quaint place to take your grandma for lunch, this lovely little joint is the place to be. Order the hearty buttermilk pancakes with a side of homemade thyme biscuits to soak up last night’s liquids or, if you're trying to be good, sample the savory lentil hummus bowl."
"Over in Classen Ten Penn, check out Aurora, which has earned 4.5 stars out of 261 reviews on Yelp. You can find the breakfast and brunch cafe at 1704 N.W."
"A post shared by Christina Tabin (@christinamariet22) on Jan 14, 2020 at 6:49pm PST. For a one-of-a-kind food trip, you should try it at Guyutes. The actual structure of the restaurant alone is unique and very urban in design that you’ll be curious to check it out."
"What a transformation Uptown NW 23rd has had in recent years. There are many wonderful restaurants with patios along the stretch - Cheever's and Pizza 23, just to name a few. For something a little bit different, head to the rooftop bar at Guyutes."
"I had a great birthday here, the pizza I ordered was amazing!!. The drinks were good and the staff was very nice. I love the atmosphere and the rooftop se..."
"Riversport Adventure offers a variety of adventures for outdoor enthusiasts. Zip lines, sky slides, climbing, kayaking, and white-water rafting are highlights of what is offered. Do not wear your flip flops, slides, or Crocs, as you will need to wear water shoes, tennis shoes, or sport sandals."
"Riversport Adventures is one of the most unique urban adventures you’ll find in a city. When was the last time you went whitewater rafting or tubing in a city?. Beyond the water sports, there is an 80-foot SandRidge Sky Trail and a 700-foot zipline across the Oklahoma River."
"If you’re travelling with friends or family and are looking for the most fun things to do in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, give the raging rapids of the Riversport Adventures a try."
