Santa Fe Plaza is located on W. Main Street, at 2nd Avenue. This is a small grassy area in the downtown commercial area. There are several war monuments here, as well as the ATSF Caboose #999608 which is a memorial to a man who loved the Santa Fe Railroad.
A granite Star has been laid at the entrance to the Plaza, and was dedicated in 1995 to commemorate Oklahoma's Centennial as a State.
There are concrete pathways in the plaza, and four seating arrangements which have cloth awnings.
