In CASE You Were Wondering
After spending almost two decades in an old shopping center location, the citizens of Sand Springs decided it was time for a change. The Case Community Center opened its doors September 2nd, 2008. The $4.3M funding for the construction of the Case Community Center was made available through general bond issues voted on by City of Sand Springs residents.
The now 26,000 square foot facility is capable for expansion to 41,000 square feet within its current site. Space is available for an additional gymnasium and banquet hall additions. Sand Springs Park Friends, Inc. has already started phase 2 planning for the Community Center site. Additions such as a skate park and/or water spray park are included in that phase.
Sand Springs Parks staff offices at the Case Community Center, and administers the daily operations of the facility.

Volunteer Reward Program
The Center will offer a program designed to enlist the help of volunteers (age 16 or above) or volunteers representing a local civic club or organization to assist staff in the daily operation of the Center. The Center Volunteer Reward Program will largely support the control station operation, which is essential to the on-going monitoring of activities at the Center, but may assist with other appropriate duties associated with the Center’s operations.
Volunteers may, through individual or group cumulative service, accumulate enough volunteer service hours to be applied toward future rental/use of the Center (depending on availability).
Individuals or groups wishing to participate in this program must contact Center staff well in advance of service hours to be worked to accommodate routine staff scheduling.
User hours earned by an individual or group may be redeemed to utilize portions of the Center (including the multi-purpose gymnasium) according to availability. It may be permissible to allow volunteers to utilize more than one available space at the Center at the time user hour credits are to be redeemed for any such reservation, depending upon space availability.
Center staff will maintain records of volunteer hours worked and User Hours earned. Center staff reserves the right to manage this program to ensure that there are enough available openings at the Center for use by volunteers and their respective groups.
Members of the City of Sand Springs staff are eligible to participate in this program.
Below is a listing of volunteer hours earned and reward program benefits:
