The work continues on the voter-approved pickle ball court project in Sooner Park, with initial pavement of the courts complete and perimeter fencing installed.

Engineer Director, Micah Siemers, said lighting for the project has been added to the base project and is in the process of being installed.

"The City Council approved additional funding for the lighting during a recent meeting, and some private donation funds are expected to help off-set those costs. So, we will be able to light the courts to allow for evening play during the winter months."

The courts are located south of the No. 3 Fire Station, adjacent to the Sooner Park tennis courts. Voters approved $459,000 for the project in the 2020 General Obligation Bond Election. Construction is expected to wrap up in the next month or two.

Siemers details when they will be finished.
