The Park
Don't care for Pioneer Park. Every city has pioneers at some point.
Oklahoma's Oklahoman Park, In Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
I submitted Unity Park since I knew the other good suggestions here would get subbed and given the times and such...
Renaissance Park.
Hafer Park
I feel there is too many Pioneer Parks in the world. I think there is probably hundreds of them in the US. I would like something unique, but still catchy.
I originally was going to submit Heartland Park, but apparently that is a motocross track in Kansas.
I submitted Prosper Park. I cannot [easily] find any existence of a park named that in the US.

Skydance Park.
Tie the park (Skydance Park) to the pedestrian bridge.
How about Scissortail Park ?
A good friend submitted "Where the buffalo roam"
I really like it!
That's funny because I feel just the opposite! The only thing that has me worried about Scissortail is mainly because of the word "scissor", and I'm afraid people might take that word in another direction if any of you know what I mean. I would hate for something like that to catch on and become a laughing stock when we are attempting to urbanize our city and compete with some of the bigger leagues. Am I the only one that thinks this? It's the first thing I thought of when I saw Scissortail.
And it's worth pointing out that recognizing "pioneers" means marginalizing the Indigenous histories that are a large part of Oklahoma's history. Many of the Pioneers in Oklahoma, for example, were Boomers like David Payne who had no respect for Indigenous treaties, land, or cultures. I've also never found the many black freedman that founded all-black towns to be included in "pioneer" histories. Anyway, I'd just like to see any public parks to be inclusive if they're to be historical.
What about something reflecting our state rock?
Rose Park? Rose Rock? Rose Rock Park?
Then it would be cool to maybe have a giant statue of a cool looking rose rock in the center of the park.
If my choice ends up being a finalist, I'll let everyone know. I think I picked a good, strong name. And I haven't seen it posted in this thread, yet.
