New Boathouse District Developments

This is a view from the top of the new Lincoln Boulevard bridge opening today providing a new four-lane gateway from Reno into the Boathouse District.

November 11 is KaBoom build day at the Boathouse District. Volunteers and OKC Boathouse Foundation staff worked in two pre-build days to prepare the site for 200 volunteers to erect the playground on Saturday. The playground is a first phase in several new Boathouse District projects/attractions in planning stages.
