Facilities

Youth at Heart manages nine recreation centers located in Tulsa’s public housing communities and low-income apartment complexes. Each of our recreation centers is managed by an on-site Youth at Heart Recreational Director. Hours of operation during the school year are Tuesday through Friday from 2 pm to 8 pm. During the summer, hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 9 am to 4 pm. Recreation centers offer tutoring, life enrichment activities, youth groups, table games, organized sports leagues, and services of other agencies such as 4-H, Scouting and Family and Children’s Services.

By definition, families residing in subsidized housing are economically disadvantaged, most with a high rate of unemployment living at or below 100% of poverty. The majority of families are minorities: African American, Native American, Asian and Hispanic. Subsidized housing complexes experience the problems of juvenile delinquency, drug abuse among parents and youth, teen pregnancy, and crime. Youth at Heart recreation centers keep kids “off the street” by providing a safe, supervised environment for youth to hang out, play, study, engage in team sports and develop social skills and values.

Youth at Heart Recreation Centers are located in the following communities:

• Apache Manor
• Comanche Park
• East Central Village
• Mohawk Manor
• Parkview Terrace
• Riverview
• Sandy Park
• Seminole Hills
• South Haven Manor
