Capt -- OKC schools are great right now. You just have to take advantage of OKC's schools of choice. There are quite a few excellent charter, magnet and enterprise schools which easily match or beat anything you'll find in the 'burbs or any of the local private schools.
As far as parks and recreation go, I think downtown parks (and those nearby) are as good as or can beat just about anything you can find in the suburbs.
