Update from the city:

Stephenson Park Master Plan: The Master Plan for Edmond’s oldest park was completed in the summer of 2018. The park will be going through an “urban-park” style theme with ideas borrowed from Myriad Gardens in OKC, The Gathering Place in Tulsa and Klyde Warren Park in Dallas. One of the primary goals of the Master Plan for the park to be “passive” with more open space. Elements that are included in the Master Plan: an amphitheater, picnic tables, and an improved pavilion. Stephenson Park will be at the center of development that is occurring in the area. The area is becoming a popular spot because of new restaurants, businesses, the UCO Jazz Lab, and future multi-family housing. Design will be complete by spring 2019. Phased upgrades will occur shortly after.
