Opened in 1988, the 15-acre Myriad Botanical Gardens is an integral component in the downtown fabric of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Funded by TIF district proceeds related to the construction of the adjacent Devon Energy World Headquarters, the City of Oklahoma City hired the OJB to develop a design that creates a world-class urban park while respecting the framework of the existing facility.
Arriving at the newly renovated Crystal Bridge tropical conservatory, visitors to the park meander through a variety of specialty botanical gardens before grabbing a coffee at the café, enjoying a meal at the restaurant, or watching a performance on the great lawn.
New public promenades and a series of flexible garden spaces support the expanded program of Oklahoma City’s annual Festival of the Arts. An expansive children’s garden, a dog park, and art installations throughout the park ensure that the gardens offer something for everyone.
