We had a fantastic time cutting the ribbon at Norman's newest community park and Norman Forward project. The park is named after Lionel Bentley in recognition of his dedicated service to Norman Parks and Recreation and his commitment to the Norman community. There couldn't be a better individual after whom to name the park!

We are only a few days away from celebrating another amazing art dedication. We invite you to join us in celebrating as another Norman Forward art project elevates our community through art! 🏀🏊🤩✨

Join the City of Norman, the Norman Arts Council, Trae Young Family Foundation, and artist Vito DiBari as we unveil and dedicate "Elevate the Game" on Monday, February 19, at 10:00 am in the Young Family Athletic Center roundabout.

DiBari & Associates' iconic sculpture, "Elevate the Game," for the Young Family Athletic Center embraces the variety of sports activities that will take place in the facility. This three-dimensional installation for the entry roundabout features the figures of a swimmer, a volleyball player, and a basketball player. In the words of Vito DiBari, the 16.5' artwork "is to become a landmark honoring and representing the Young Family Athletic Center, its vision, and the people of Norman." 🥳

On October 13, 2015, Norman residents passed the NORMAN FORWARD initiative encompassing various quality-of-life projects with a 1/2% sales tax collected over 15 years. The Young Family Athletic Center was one of those projects, and we are ecstatic to see it come to fruition! This dynamic center results from a collaborative endeavor involving the City of Norman, Norman Forward, Norman Regional Health System, and the Trae Young Family Foundation. The center is a HUB for athletics in the community and, through this partnership, is designed to be affordable and accessible to the community. 🏀🏊🤩🥳
