Parks and Rec http://kwgs.org en Guthrie Green, a Highly Anticipated New Park in Downtown Tulsa, Opens This Weekend http://kwgs.org/post/guthrie-green-highly-anticipated-new-park-downtown-tulsa-opens-weekend <p>Just when we thought the recently revitalized Downtown Tulsa really couldn't get any cooler.... Guthrie Green, a new park located at the corner of Boston Avenue and Brady Street --- in the heart of Tulsa's increasingly thriving Brady Arts District --- opens today, Friday the 7th, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 3pm. Then, at about 5pm, the music gets underway --- and live, festive, free-to-the-public music (of all kinds, for all tastes) is a big part of what this Opening Weekend for Guthrie Green is all about.
