Edmond to build a new combination library and YMCA on East side

[progressiveboy]

I saw in the Journal Record that Edmond will be building a much needed second library attached to a new YMCA in fast growing East side of the city. Great news for Edmond. This sounds like a win for Edmond residents!

Nice to see this moving forward.

The East side needs a city park.

Lake Arcadia has park space?

I think it has a very lame area and it’s not accessible without paying.

Not sure what the floodplain restrictions are like but there is a great area behind the dam.

That’s where all the new MTB trails are being built.

…and, I wish they’d do something like The Railyard in Rogers, AR with MTB pump tracks of varying difficulty just to add a new “park” style attraction that is unique for the metro.

Really looking forward to seeing if this one will have a pool, due to Mitch’s being EPS owned and “borrowed” by the Y - the entire OKC metro has a serious comp pool/lap pool for training or personal shortage since OCCC closed. The OAC and OC pools are in dire need of upgrades. We practically live at pools and the Y, I will ask around on this project.

The Mercy North building has a nice pool complex inside.

It does! I’ve done training there. It’s even a salt water pool but unfortunately it’s only 4 lanes and most of the time they’re being used, and I’ll say it’s not a “circle swim” or sharing lane type of environment.
