The City has also built a canal that winds through the area. It is a really nice and peaceful place to walk.
It is not near the scale of San Antonio's Riverwalk but last time I was in San Antonio it was funny how the locals there felt defensive about the Oklahoma City's canal. "Well, its not near as nice as ours." Of course not, Oklahoma City's version is still great though, and a lot less crowded.
Its a great place to take a camera. Better take some duck food also. They don't care about cameras.
Especially in the magic hour of the evening in between quitting time and happy hour.
At the far east end near the Bass Pro there is a Centennial Display celebrating the Oklahoma Land Run.
I'm not sure if the horses can jump that canal.
The light is dimming, time to head back,
The Christmas Lights made for a nice walk.

I haven't been to OKC in ages. I really need to make a trip over there.
Those wreaths are the work of my very talented wife. I have NO idea how to do that.
What a beautiful area! I can see why SA is jealous!! I love canals like these -- reminds me of when I was in Amsterdam! Hope you're having a great week!!
This was a lovely walk, loved those statues.
looks like a lovely place to visit.
Looks like an inviting area. Nice revitalization project.
Looks to be a nice play to visit. Nice to see another part of the world.
Alluring.
Didn't know OKC even had a canal. Thanks for sharing.
I have never been in this place but if I would have an opportunity I would go!
A canal is so wonderful. The ducks found such a peaceful place to be.
And the trees are so festive with all these beautiful autumn colors.
Amazing photographs! I enjoyed them so much!
Thanks for coming by my blog--I am SO BEHIND on checking out other blogs. Love the canal in OK City--looks like a great place to stroll. Mickie ;)
I like that it isn't crowded. :)
Looks like a lovely place to walk and you've definitely shown it's a great place to take a camera. You took some great shots!
The lighted trees are whimiscal delights and I love the statues.
Thanks for this lovely walk!
What a delightful relaxing spot in the middle of the city! Looks like they did it up right, and you did a good job with your photos of it.
It certainly looks like a lovely place to visit and take lots of photos! Thanks for the tour!
The fist picture i almost think that it is Venice.

Reminds me of San Antonio.
I think it's a lovely river walk. Now I need to visit Oklahoma City and San Antonio to see both for myself. :))
Hi Yogi,
So glad you found WW & linked up! Beautiful canal & I would imagine it would make for a truly nice walk... the images are beautiful. I'm esp lovin the bridges, plus the Centennial Display where the horses are slammin on the brakes! Oh & the lights, too!
happy WW & spread the word that WW is back up & runnin =)
What a wonderful little jewel you found to share with us! I would spend a lot of time there, if I lived closer.
What a pretty place to visit, the canal and the sculptures are great. And the trees are pretty. Great shots!
A neat place and I would be tempted to take the boat ride. I really like the statues and lighted trees.
Love that statue! I need to get to OKC. It's been too many years since I've been there. Went to school in Norman and had many friends from the city. My roommate actually grew up on the grounds of the old Spring Lake Amusement Park.
