Nichols Hills is one of the prettier residential suburbs of Oklahoma City. The quiet residential streets surrounding the area offer traffic-free running past grand homes and spacious yards. Grand Boulevard Park has a one mile paved path running through the center lawn. Most of the streets don’t have sidewalks, but cars are limited to light residential traffic. It’s also a go-to ParkRun, located off NW Grand boulevard just west of Lake Hefner.
