The 30-block Arena District in west downtown Tulsa has boundaries of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad to the north and west, Boulder Avenue to the east, and 11th Street to the south. Goals of the Arena District Master Plan include the following:

• Broaden and strengthen the district’s role in the Tulsa economy by identifying strategies to promote and foster redevelopment and growth.
• Shrink perceived and real distances between the district and its downtown and riverfront neighborhoods.
• Reposition the district from a limited-use area into a thriving destination reflecting Tulsa’s cultural and historical livelihood.
• Uncover a distinct district brand by telling a bold story through dynamic public art, landmarks, messaging and place making.
• Create an actionable plan to guide public and private sector investment.
