📍 City Hall is Moving!

We’re excited to share that City Hall is getting a new home! The City of Tahlequah will be relocating to the former Tahlequah Board of Education Building at 225 N. Water Ave.

Our move is planned for the week of September 21st. As with any move, there are a lot of details to coordinate, and while we’re working hard to make the transition as smooth as possible, we don’t yet have a definite date for when we will be fully operational at the new location.

If you have city business to take care of during the week of September 21st, we kindly ask for your patience and understanding as our staff works through the move. We know that transitions can sometimes create a few extra challenges, and we appreciate your grace as we get settled into our new space.

We’ll keep you updated along the way and will let you know as soon as the move is complete and City Hall is fully operating at 225 N. Water Ave.

Thank you, Tahlequah, for your continued patience and support. We’re excited for this next chapter and look forward to welcoming you to our new City Hall!

It saddens us to share that Tahlequatics will be closed for the remainder of the year. 💙

This was not an easy decision, and we know this is disappointing news for our community—especially for those who were looking forward to enjoying the pool during these final weekends of summer.

Ultimately, the safety of our patrons has to come first. Unfortunately, we do not have enough lifeguards to safely staff the pool for the next two weekends, and we cannot responsibly open without adequate coverage.

Our lifeguards are primarily teenagers who return to school in the fall, with some heading off to college and many balancing sports, activities, and other commitments. While we were fortunate to have a great group of lifeguards this season, we simply were not able to retain enough staff to safely make it through the entire pool season.

We sincerely appreciate everyone who visited Tahlequatics this summer and supported our pool and lifeguards. We know how much this facility means to our community, and we share your disappointment in ending the season early.

We will be taking a close look at our lifeguard staffing and operations during the off-season to determine what we can do differently to help prevent this from happening again.

Thank you for your understanding, patience, and continued support of Tahlequah Parks & Recreation. 💙
