Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, continues to invest in its future. Following voter approval of the City’s $415 million General Obligation Bond package in April 2026, several major projects are moving from vision to reality. Among the most impactful investments are the projects included in Propositions 2 (Public Safety), 3 (Quality of Life), and 4 (Public Facilities)

These projects go beyond new buildings and upgrades. They are designed to make Broken Arrow safer, create more places for people to gather, and improve community spaces residents use every day. Professional Engineering Consultants (PEC) understands the importance of community engineering that these projects will entail.

Investing in Public Safety

As Broken Arrow grows, so does the need for reliable emergency services. Proposition 2 provides funding for projects that help police officers, firefighters, and emergency responders better serve the community.

Plans include a new Fire Station 9, new fire trucks, improvements to emergency communication systems, upgrades at the Public Safety Training Center, and expansion of the City’s animal shelter.

For residents, these improvements can make a real difference. A new fire station can help crews reach emergencies faster. Updated training facilities give first responders more opportunities to practice for real-life situations. Better communication systems help emergency teams work together when every second counts.

Most people will never see the technology and infrastructure behind these projects, but they will benefit from the faster, more effective services they support.

Creating More Opportunities for Recreation

Proposition 3 focuses on parks, recreation, and community spaces. The investment includes improvements across the city that give residents more opportunities to stay active, spend time outdoors, and connect with others.

Some of the largest projects include a new community center at Elam Park, splash pads, pickleball courts, playground improvements, and upgrades to local aquatic facilities. Other plans include renovations to the Central Park Community Center, enhancements at Battle Creek Golf Course, additional shade structures, and a new dog park.

These are the types of projects people interact with every day. Families gain new places to play and spend time together. Children have updated playgrounds to enjoy. Seniors have more recreation opportunities. Community events have welcoming spaces where neighbors can gather.

At PEC, we’ve seen how well-planned parks and recreation facilities can become community favorites that serve residents for generations.

Improving Community Spaces

Proposition 4 is focused on public facilities that help bring people together while supporting city services.

Planned projects include renovations and expansions at the Senior Center, Rose District Plaza, Arts@302, the Veterans Center, and local history museums. The proposition also includes improvements to city operations facilities and technology infrastructure.

These projects help preserve the spaces where people gather, learn, and celebrate. Expanded museums can create room for additional exhibits and educational programs. Improvements to the Senior Center can support new activities and services. Enhancements to Rose District Plaza can provide more opportunities for festivals, concerts, and community events.

Much of the work happens behind the scenes, but it plays an important role in supporting the services residents rely on.

Building for the Future

Strong communities are built through thoughtful investments in the places people use every day. The projects included in Broken Arrow’s 2026 bond program reflect a commitment to creating a safer, more connected, and more vibrant community for years to come.

Projects like these require careful planning, collaboration, and experienced engineering partners. PEC has proudly supported communities across Oklahoma and the region as they turn ambitious ideas into lasting improvements.
