Contract crews are installing new slides at the City-owned Sooner Pool complex. The slides are part of the the Sooner Pool Expansion Project, approved by voters in the 2013 Half-cent Sales Tax extension election. In addition to two 45-foot slides, the $2.8 millon project also includes a new parking lot, group shelters and other improvements to the pool, located at 420 S.E. Madison Blvd. Sooner Pool, along with Frontier pool, located 312 S.W. Virginia Ave., is set to open Memorial Day weekend as work continues on the new additions.
