A tip off between NBA star Blake Griffin and Mayor David Holt on Sunday kicked off the opening of downtown’s newest park, Together Square.

Directly west of Myriad Gardens, the area features a basketball court branded by the Team Griffin Foundation, a futsal soccer pitch branded by The Energy Assist Foundation and a large open space for public use. The park is on land owned by OGE Energy Corp. and will be overseen by the Myriad Gardens Foundation.

The park is a block along Sheridan Avenue between Hudson and Walker Avenues that was home to Stage Center and originally cleared to make way for a four-tower development that later was scrapped.

Visitors Sunday afternoon were treated to an opening party featuring basketball and futsal (smaller scale soccer) on the new courts, food trucks, music, and activities for kids. Children were taught soccer and basketball tips from professional and elite athletes including Energy FC players and Griffin, and his brother, Taylor Griffin, who also played at the University of Oklahoma and formerly in the NBA.
