You can see here the bases are actually in planters:

What I thought was most interesting that weekend I rode down this street before the shade structures was there were still real trees planted. This is good but I wonder if these things will cause issues for each other in the future.

lowkey looks like a hall of mushrooms (in a good way)

This section of SW 4th Street is now named after our former mayor:

interesting that this location of the cc and park is where Mick wanted it from the very beginning! So the naming fits.

So impressed with how this is all coming together. Got a chance to visit the area this morning--can't wait to see all of the barriers and barrels moved and replaced with some human activity. Hope this will be a game-changer that gives OKC a second look...

Excellent pics, Pete.

I feel like this strip is begging for some actual greenery. It's so much cement and gray metal--all one note color scheme wise. Some lush green landscaping, or actual ivy growing up these poles, or some kind of greener at the top of these things to make them look more tree-like would be welcome.

Could use some greenery; so this space will be more of a pedestrian walk and relax area with basic foot traffic.

Speaking of green spaces, what is that green rectangle on top of the building in the 3rd picture?

My guess would be a putting green. I think those are holes spaced out.

Yes, it's a putting green and can also be used for events.

From this morning (Sunday):

This will be such a unique and cool area. Can't wait to see the finished result.

Impressive shade structures, much bigger than I expected.

I don't really see the need for much green space here when you have 87 acres (incl. Myriad Gardens) of green space directly across the street.

There will still be trees and other landscaping.

this might be a dumb question, but will the pods be covered?

Yes.

There will be slats filling in the hexagons.

They've got some of the shade coverings on, here's a view from within the convention center.

Yes, that was still being worked on Saturday. 16755

I'm sure these will be illuminated at night which should look pretty cool.

Is that mesh or something solid?

It looked very solid to me.

This project is scheduled to be complete by the end of April.

The membranes on the top are water-proof and each structure has a gutter system and internal downspout.

Close to finished here:

Definitely an experience now

Should there be 2 more on the hotel side?

I believe they have the ability to have multiple light colors; last night they were generally green:

Didn't previously catch that the fake trees would be illuminated...

Got used for its intended purpose for I think the first time this weekend...
