Indoor Volleyball? YES, PLEASE!! 😍

Did you know that Purcell Parks and Recreation has a Multipurpose Center with a beautiful air conditioned indoor gym that's available, FREE, to come and play any time it's not reserved/rented for a private event? (It's also available to rent for your party, family reunion, or other gathering needs, as are our banquet rooms and pavilions!) We have Open Gym hours set aside every Friday from 8am to 8pm, but it's also available at various times during the week when we don't have team/sports/gymnastics/events - you're always welcome to call ahead and ask to find out if it's available!

We have an ice cold drinking fountain and water bottle filling station just outside the gym, and various sports equipment available to check out at the counter - volleyball net, pickleball net, basketball, tennis, you name it - we've got it. We also have a sand volleyball court at the lake, basketball courts outside in front of the MPC, and tennis courts in the back. Come play with us! Bring a friend or make a new one, we have a share-the-space philosophy! We just ask that you sign in at the front desk when you arrive. 😃 Hours are 8am to 8pm on weekdays, and 10am to 8pm on weekends. You can reach us at (405) 527-7227. :)

Purcell Parks and Recreation and the Multipurpose Center will be closed on Monday, May 25th in honor of Memorial Day. If the Memorial Day service at the cemetery gets rained out, we'll be open and prepared. We are sending our heartfelt thoughts, prayers, and gratitude for those who have given of themselves and made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country, defending rights and freedoms we can never take for granted, and for those families they left behind. We carry you with us, always.
