Bingo update! The Br#2ktown Canal is almost fully drained, and this scooter graveyard looks spooky. We've found a number of things NOT on our bingo card, including road cones, putters and golf balls, menus, skateboards, a bowling ball, one bazillion fish, a cute little turtle, a beaver, and a truck.

OK, we don't have a psychic groundhog to celebrate Groundhog Day, but we DO have this squirrel at Martin Park with, like, really, really good intuition.

The canal draining began last week but was paused because of the incoming storm. With warmer temps on the way, we hope to be back at it by Tuesday! But we've already found 3 things for our bingo game: scooters, phones, and dirt. 🛴📱🟫 We also found a jacket, though that wasn't on our bingo cards. 🧥

What's up with the water? The bulk of the water inside the Bricktown Canal has drained, but some places still have up to 18 inches of water. The draining process was slower than expected this year because of a broken valve.

We're squeezing in as much as possible before the freeze! The Bricktown Canal finished draining today, so we started the cleanup work that will last for the next few weeks. We even rescued a few little friends. (Updates to Canal Bingo coming soon!)

It's going to be dangerously cold this weekend. Now is the time to make a winter storm plan if you don't already have one.
Items for winter storms to add to your disaster kit include non-perishable food and water for 1-2 weeks, blankets, coats, gloves, hats and water-resistant boots.

Let's take a moment to appreciate your public workers who are cleaning the canal! It's cold, it's messy, and it's exhausting cleaning out a mile-long canal filled with 3 million gallons of water and, like, 3 million items of nonsense. Thank you to the OKC Parks canal crew! 💪💚 We appreciate you!
