Join us on July 19th for a tour of the new Five Oaks on Warson community center designed by KAI.

On the tour, Beverly Tucker Knight, Director of Parks & Recreation for the City of Olivette, will share more about how the center embodies sustainability from inside and out, from design, construction and operations of the building, to native landscaping and integration with the extension of the Centennial Greenway in collaboration with Great Rivers Greenway.
