Yea, the land run monument is right down in Bricktown, easy walking to it.

The entire area is totally transformed over the last 30 years. The citizens passed a "temporary" one cent sales tax, and started right away with digging a downtown canal, and converting an old spokey industrial area into "Bricktown" and after many hundreds of millions of dollars it is unrecognizable to the old area. Tons of new hotels, the NBA team new arena, a new convention center, new Omni hotel, the street car and the street car is on a loop that goes to places worth seeing. It just goes in a loop, with stops at different areas, but not out of the downtown area so it is not a transportation commuting trolley to get to work from the suburbs.

The new 70 acre Scissortail park is open and new.

In the summer the river front is packed with people enjoying the attractions. The scullers come from all over the world. The river is protected from the winds, and has no other boating on it, so it is ideal to have competitions. When Russia lost a big international competition due to sanctions of the war in Ukraine, it was held in Oklahoma City.
