Our Recreation Division provides recreation and education programs at parks, athletic fields, lakes, nature areas and community centers.

The Grounds Management Division mows and maintains more than 6,900 land acres and plants hundreds of trees every year. It's also responsible for maintenance of areas along the Oklahoma River and the Bricktown Canal.

The Botanical Gardens Division manages the Myriad Botanical Gardens and Will Rogers Gardens.  The Myriad Botanical Gardens, in downtown Oklahoma City, is home to the Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory, a living plant museum housing thousands of exotic tropical plants from around the world.  The Will Rogers Gardens houses an arboretum, the Charles E. Sparks Rose Garden and Ed Lycan Conservatory.
