I've seen lots of folks writing or being quoted on how the Core to Shore Park ought to be minimized, dialed way down, not be programmed, doesn't need lots of the glitz and flash that was pitched prior to the M3 vote by the OKC voters. The sentiment is usually tied to MBG turning out so well, and perhaps it would be a waste to have another large programmed park, particularly in an area where surrounding development might still be 20+ years out.

OK, so say I'm a convert. That would mean a huge chunk of the original 130 million for the C2S park is no longer needed for the park, or shudder that I can type this, perhaps the park should be mothballed for anything at all beyond the most minimal grassy walk area, suggesting the vast majority of the funds could be freed up for some other major improvement within OKC. Hmmm, let's see now. Is there a way to marry those thoughts with discussing the funding needed to pull off making FNC the supreme icon of the prairie.

I admit I feel a wee bit of ick for even suggesting it, but yeah, play with it, rip it, modify it, or perhaps embrace it if you're a OKC voter. Me, I'm just a visitor.
this is off topic but i couldn't let it go ... the MBG is NOT a large park
