Good morning, Norman.

During a business and community affairs committee meeting on Thursday, Norman City Council heard a presentation on the Westwood Park master plan—detailing plans to rearrange tennis courts for new pickleball facilities, reposition the golf course with nighttime lighting, build extra parking spaces, and launch a new restaurant. The $54 million project will be funded by Norman Forward’s sales tax, and councilmembers voiced concerns about noise and pedestrian access—especially near Merkle Creek.
