Bricktown is an entertainment district just east of downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States. It was formerly a major warehouse district. The major attractions of the district are the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, the navigable Bricktown Canal, and the 16-screen Harkins movie theatre. The first brick structures, which were typically only one or two stories, appeared between 1898 and 1903. A visit to Indianapolis, Indiana, which had recently beat the city in a competition for a new airline maintenance plant, led him to believe that Oklahoma City needed a vibrant downtown. It lacked the range of activities and amenities to attract more residents and visitors.
Arts and culture
The district contains a number of public sculptures and murals, including a monument to the Oklahoma Land Run.
An annual Bricktown Art Festival is held in mid-July.
Transportation
The Oklahoma City Streetcar loops around Bricktown and connects the neighborhood to downtown. It opened in December 2018.
Amtrak's Heartland Flyer service to Fort Worth departs every morning from the old Santa Fe Depot, located by the west entrance to Bricktown, and returns in the evenings.
