Good morning, Norman.

Lake Thunderbird's renovated 13.78 miles of multi-use trails are now open for public use.

The upgrade was funded with $1M in ARPA funds (in partnership with the Cleveland County Economic Development Coalition, Cleveland County Board of Commissioners, Visit Norman and the Bureau of Reclamation) to provide a refreshed outdoor space for locals.

Norman City Council approved the Islamic Society of Norman’s rezoning request during its Tuesday meeting for a youth center west of its mosque on Lindsey Street, which will feature a gym, classrooms and extra parking.

The project will support local youth programs.
