CLAREMORE, Okla. – September 2, 2026 – Beale Infrastructure (Beale) and Sequoyah Public School are proud to announce that Beale will be providing a $600,000 donation to fund the development of a new family and student fitness-focused playground at the school district’s new elementary school.
The contribution will fund the construction of the playground as well as five years toward park maintenance and operations. An additional $25,000 will be provided to support enhanced STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) programs.
The new playground will address a growing gap students and the community face in finding readily available physical and recreational fitness. With a focus on guided play and physical fitness, the playground will foster both social and emotional development, and promote healthy, active lifestyles – without students and families having to travel outside of the community.
“Sequoyah Public School is grateful for the partnership with Beale Infrastructure,” said Dr. Terry Saul, Sequoyah Public School Superintendent. “This first project shows the commitment that Beale has and will continue to make to Sequoyah Public School now and in the future.”
This innovative project will be available to the community outside of school hours, and will be available for events and community gatherings at no cost. The playground will also be incorporated into the current physical education curriculum, where students will be taught how to use the equipment and encouraged to bring their friends and family to the playground to interact together.
“At Beale, we envision supporting projects like this that can leave lasting, positive impacts for everyone in the community,” said Tony Burkart, Senior Vice President of Public Policy & Public Affairs at Beale. “This state-of-the art playground is one example of that commitment, and something we hope the whole community can celebrate and enjoy for decades to come.”
Community projects supported by Beale are in addition to the significant revenue generated by the project from direct Tax Incentive District (TID) payments. During the first phase, it is estimated $78 million will be directed toward schools.
