Activities
Sapulpa
has many recreational facilities designed to meet the needs
of everyone, regardless of age, ability or interest. The young
and not-so-young can participate in baseball, basketball, football,
tennis, cross-country track, golf, volleyball, wrestling,
softball and soccer. In addition, tennis courts and a bowling
alley add more opportunities for fun. The Sapulpa Rotary Club
splash pad is open daily during the summer months and is located at Liberty Park. Heritage Park is a unique playground, built by community volunteers, is open daily to the public and should be placed on your "must see in Sapulpa" list. The Salvation Army Community Center
is a major asset. It provides (through membership and/or activity
fee) a host of activity opportunities such as a weight room,
a walking track, indoor pool, basketball court, and a general
recreational room. The center also provides church services.

Lake
Sahoma, just southwest of Pretty Water, provides fishing from
the dock and access for boats. Crappie, bass, perch and catfish
are abundant. A new RV park was recently added directly across from the lake. Heyburn Lake, 20 minutes southwest of Sapulpa,
is a Corps of Engineers project and offers camping, fishing,
hiking and swimming.
Lake Keystone, northwest of Sapulpa near Mannford, offers
similar amenities, but also has boat docks and storage space
available. A great variety of birds can be found in the area,
and eagles are often seen from the shores.
The restored Sapulpa City Library, one of the original Andrew
Carnegie Libraries, offers books on every imaginable subject.
One of the library's claims to fame is the Genealogy Division,
attracting people from across the country.
The three-story Sapulpa Historical Museum located downtown
has many photographs of the early history of Sapulpa. In addition,
it houses early telephone equipment, World War memorabilia and various era dolls. The Annex, located near the museum, houses an antique fire engine that usually makes an appearance in the annual Christmas parade.
While visiting Sapulpa's historic downtown area you will find
several business buildings and churches that date from the
1920s.
Ghost Signs lend a historical touch to downtown. These signs,
funded by local school children and private donors, are reproductions
of commercial advertisements painted on the sides of the building
on which they originally appeared.
