Progress Reports
4. Officials with the MHA Foundation, Rim Country Educational Alliance and Rim Country Educational Foundation recently presented the construction progress report for Granite Dells Park. The project is now in phase two after a mixed phase one. During last year’s monsoon season, flooding lifted the island to the center of the lake, causing damage due to shortfalls in the construction process. Pacific Aquascape International agreed to repair the defects at their own expense. Football/soccer and baseball fields have been completed along with eight pickleball courts. The park is not yet ADA-compliant and still needs work on bathrooms, concession stands, parking and empty trenches.
