It is home to the AT&T Bricktown Ballpark and the navigable Bricktown Canal, and is one of the most popular destinations in the state. Other attractions include the Oklahoma Land Run monument, numerous bars and dance clubs, casual and fine dining restaurants, retail shops including Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World, a Harkins movie theatre, a Marble Slab Creamery, hotels, and live music venues.

The face of downtown Oklahoma City has changed dramatically over the past several years, thanks to an extensive Urban Renewal program. New construction and major renovation projects have brought new life to the center of the city and noon musical events and arts festivals attract people from all quadrants of the city.

Beneath the downtown complex is the Metro Concourse, a network of underground tunnels and skyways. The Concourse is one of the most extensive, all-enclosed pedestrian systems in the country and connects dozens of restaurants and retail shops to hotels, office buildings and the Myriad Convention Center.

The Myriad Gardens, in the heart of downtown, was initially inspired by Copehnagen�s Tivoli Gardens. Landscaped hills, gardens and watercourses are enhanced by the unique Crystal Bridge, a huge glass and steel structure conceived as a greenhouse teeming with exotic plants from all over the world.

While Oklahoma City is known for its sunshine, there are plenty of activities when the sun goes down! A popular evening destination is Bricktown, a warehouse district just east of downtown. This historic area is the site of unique restaurants, clubs, retail shopping, outside concerts and festivals, and the new Southwestern Bell Bricktown Ballpark.

The downtown area is also the home of a major medical complex and teaching facility associated with the University of Oklahoma.

Professionals who work downtown and prefer to limit their commuting time will find a wide selection of available housing from modern condominiums to large historical homes that have been beautifully restored. Majestic trees, many of which were planted at the time of statehood, decorate the side streets of neighborhoods in this area.

North Oklahoma City boasts a number of residential areas. It is also home to Nichols Hills and the Village, two sub-divisions with their own police, fire department and municipal government.

This area of Oklahoma south of the Canadian River and Moore forms the southern boundary of this vast metropolitan area. Benefiting economically from the General Motors Assembly Plant and a wide variety of major firms, the area has continued to grow at a steady rate. In fact, southwest Oklahoma City has grown at a rate almost twice that of the other quadrants. It even has its own Chamber of Commerce and local merchants are extremely aggressive and proud of their businesses.

Employees at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center (FAA) and Will Rogers World Airport find it convenient to live in this part of Oklahoma City.

A private hospital completely supported by the community, South Community was recently renovated at a cost of $20 million establishing it as a regional health care center.
