From planning documents filed with the city by the Parks and Recreation Department:
Military Park, a 1.8 acre urban green space located within the Military Park Neighborhood and Oklahoma City's Asian District, is one of Oklahoma City's oldest recreation areas. Bounded by Classen Boulevard, Military Avenue, NW 2th and NW 24th streets, its unique triangular shape is defined by the street grid. For most of its existence, Military Park has remained and un-programmed, open green space. Currently the park contains a playground, swing set and benches along with numerous mature to semi-mature trees.
The intent of the proposed improvements is to re-imagine the site as an activated urban park serving the needs of adjacent residential neighbors, academic institutions, religious entities and commercial land uses. Additionally, the site will host a monument dedicated to the relationship between the United States and South Vietnam.
Nearby and much larger Memorial Park at NW 36th and Classen reopened to the public late last year after a similar revamp.
