Oklahoma City's Scissortail Park air quality benefits from the 70-acre new downtown park's substantial greenspace providing natural filtration adjacent to the convention center, with consistent Great Plains southerly winds providing reliable ventilation. Vehicle traffic on the surrounding downtown corridors contributes local sources, while the park's open geometry and the flat Oklahoma terrain generally maintain better conditions than the enclosed downtown street canyons throughout most of the year.
