The Oklahoma City-County Health Department, in conjunction with the City of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma City Metropolitan Library System, Oklahoma City Public School System, University of Central Oklahoma, and Oklahoma City Community College, plans to build a Learning and Wellness Campus in the Parmelee neighborhood in south OKC. The campus, located halfway between SW 59th St and I-240 on the east side of S Walker Ave, behind Southern Oaks Library and immediately adjacent to Parmelee Elementary School, will feature wellness and cooking classes, preventative care and counseling services, additional community meeting space, a public gym (in addition to the gym in the pre-existing community center right across the street from Parmelee Elementary), and library and learning services for adults and children. Additionally, the project will more than double the current park size, adding walking trails, workout stations, community sports fields, and community gardens.
