Southeast
The far southern sides of Del City almost touch I-240, where there are new housing additions, and numerous new manufacturing facilities and of course, the mountainous landfill. This area is very similar to the Memorial Road area. There are some new office buildings. Traffic grinds to a halt on I-240 coming from Tinker Air Force Base, which lies between I-40 and I-240 in Oklahoma City, and touches Midwest City. Tinker is one of the nation's premier bases, employing over 30,000 people. The famously-dismantled General Motors plant (now used by Tinker AFB), Quad Graphics and some other employers are scattered around the mostly industrial countryside. Several new industrial parks take advantage of the Tinker proximity, including the Boeing facility now under construction.
Lake Stanley Draper is also in this area, and is the largest lake in the Oklahoma City limits. The lake is a 2,900 acre lake, and has very popular mountain biking trials nearby, which attract riders from around the state, with more than 14 miles (23 km) of single-track trails, varying in difficulty. Currently the pipes which feed lake Draper from the larger lake Atoka are under repair, causing the water levels of lake Draper to be too low for boating. The levels should return to normal levels in 2012.
