Young Family Multi-Sport and Acquatic Center

[mattbrafford]

Per the City of Norman:

We are excited to partner with the Trae Young Family Foundation to make the Multi-Sport and Aquatics Center a world class facility!
Tonight, the City entered into an agreement with the Foundation to provide $4 million toward the project, which is set to be named for the Young Family. The contribution is contingent on a successful August bond election to add funding to the project and location on 24th Avenue NW and Rock Creek Road. The funds donated by the Foundation may be used for physical or operational enhancements to the project as well as a scholarship program for low-income families.
The Young Family said in a statement they were extremely excited to partner with the City on this project.
“This will be a world-class facility Norman youth deserve. We believe a project like this will change the landscape for all families in Norman.... We envision a facility that will change the way indoor youth sports are played in Norman and across the state. Instead of Norman families driving to basketball/volleyball events in communities' hours away (as our family did so often with Trae, Caitlyn, and Camryn), people will now travel to Norman, Oklahoma, to play these indoor sports. Also, experience our hotels, restaurants, and shopping, among other things that make this city what it is.”

The August 25 bond election includes four propositions totalling $119.9 million in investment in Norman to complete the remaining Norman FORWARD quality-of-life projects, renovate municipal facilities to provide better service and safety to residents, address homelessness in Norman, and provide a relief mechanism to our city’s small businesses. If the General Obligation (GO) bonds are approved, the average Norman homeowner ($150,000 home value) would pay about $13.93 a month for all four propositions.

Awesome to see successful athletes from Norman giving back to the community, but this should be built on the Eastside of Norman and not on the wealthier Westside...

Bump, is this still happening, seems like its been a while since the official groundbreaking? But nothing is going on at the site, not even dirt work.

There are things happening; it's just set back from the road as shown in the aerial.

Construction progress. It's quite the facility.
