Oklahoma City, OK — The Myriad Botanical Gardens is thrilled to welcome SPARK as the new sponsor for the summer movies. SPARK is located at the Gardens’ sister park, Scissortail Park, with a menu featuring burgers, bites, and cold delights. Known for its classic SPARK Burger, Pink Fries, and Frozen Peach Club Special, SPARK is a part of The Social Order portfolio making a difference in how Oklahoma lives, plays and eats. A popular spot in the Park since opening in 2021, SPARK offers something for everyone. In addition to sponsoring our summer movies, the team at The Social Order will be opening their second location in Chisholm Creek this May and a 3rd location in Nichols Hills shortly after.
“We created SPARK to become a family friendly affordable downtown destination for Oklahoma City and our downtown parks. Myriad Botanical Gardens and SPARK’s mission to create inviting and beautiful outdoor activities perfectly align for the SPARK summer movie series. This is just one way we can help give back to metro families that have helped us become a fixture of downtown and support our upcoming growth throughout the city.” Brian Bogert, CEO & Founder, The Social Order.
“SPARK is the perfect sponsor for the Garden’s super popular summer movie series. We are grateful for their generous support that helps underwrite the costs of producing our free movies on Devon Lawn. Thank you, SPARK, a locally-owned restaurant, that creates community – and one of the best burgers in town too!” Maureen Heffernan, President & CEO, Park Management.
The summer movies began fourteen years ago on the Devon Lawn of the newly renovated Myriad Botanical Gardens exterior grounds, which reopened in 2011. Since then, thousands of families have attended and enjoyed picnicking on the lawn and engaging in pre-movie entertainment.
