Oklahoma City, OK — Myriad Botanical Gardens is thrilled to welcome SPARK as a new Summer Film Sponsor. SPARK is located in the Gardens’ sister park, Scissortail Park, with a menu that includes burgers, bites and cold treats. Known for its classic SPARK Burger, Pink Fries and Frozen Peach Club Special, SPARK is part of The Social Order portfolio, which is changing the way Oklahomans live, play and eat. A popular spot in the park since opening in 2021, SPARK offers something for everyone. In addition to sponsoring our summer movies, The Social Order team will be opening their 2nd location in Chisholm Creek this May and 3rd location in Nichols Hills soon after.
“We created SPARK to become a family-friendly, accessible destination in downtown Oklahoma City and our downtown parks. The countless botanical gardens and SPARK’s mission to create engaging and beautiful outdoor activities align perfectly with SPARK’s summer film series. This is just one of the ways we can help give back to the metro families who have helped us become an integral part of downtown and support our upcoming growth across the city.” Brian Bogert, CEO and Founder , The Social Order.
“SPARK is the perfect sponsor for the Garden’s super popular summer film series. We are grateful for their generous support which helps cover the cost of producing our free films on Devon Lawn. Thank you, SPARK, a local restaurant that builds community – and one of the best burgers in town!” Maureen Heffernan, President and CEO, Park Management.
Summer movies began fourteen years ago on the Devon Lawn of the recently renovated outdoor grounds of Myriad Botanical Gardens, which reopened in 2011. Since then, thousands of families have attended and enjoyed picnicking on the lawn and participating in pre-movie entertainment.
