I was in Bend, OR for work recently and they have a similar project, it even has space for surfing. However they did there's directly on the river. And it is free to use. In a city of ~80k.

That looks fun. That adds something to that city...
The heartbeat of Okla City is difficult for me to put my finger on. I definitely like their skyline more with that new skyscraper. I think it is a nice city. It just is a town with a "soul" I don't quite understand -- at least yet. I've driven through it on city boulevards (avoiding the freeway purposefully) to gain a better sense of it. Even some cities that are smaller, such as Omaha, feel more "spirited" to me. (It's probably partly because I'm simply not from there, not an Oklahoman.)
