Skiatook Community Center and Swimming Pool
Allocation: $600,000.00
Summary Update:
The new Swimming Pool and Bathhouse were completed in June 2007. The majority of Community Center renovations were completed in April 2008. The town of Skiatook has completed a small follow-up project and has requested reimbursement which is being processed for final project closeout.
Background:
The existing Skiatook Community Center shares a 1942 vintage building with the Police Department and Municipal Court. The building was designed as a “Municipal Building” by Frank C. Walter, a Tulsa architect, and resembles the old stone armories that were constructed during that era. One-half of the Vision 2025 funding that is earmarked for Skiatook completed many renovations and upgrades, including roofing, window replacement, gymnasium flooring, and other interior finishes. The balance of the Skiatook funding was used to supplement the community’s effort to fund a new community swimming pool and bathhouse in this fast-growing community.
