Construction work began Tuesday on the city of Sand Springsâ€™ new community center. The center, which is located on Wekiwa Road adjacent to River City Park, will be built thanks to a $4.3 million bond issue. Sand Springs voters approved the bond issue in 2005. A groundbreaking ceremony was held at the site Tuesday morning.

The 25,500 square foot building will feature a multi-purpose gymnasium, walking track, dance and aerobics space, indoor batting practice facility, conference rooms and administrative offices for the Cityâ€™s Parks and Recreation Department.

Work on the center is expected to be completed by the fall of 2008.
