Councilmember Kevin McCarty Invites you to attend the Public Opening of Granite Regional Dog Park and Skate Park: November 24, 2006

Sacramento, California, November 17, 2006—On Friday, November 24, 2006, two of the region’s most anticipated park amenities—the Skate Park and Dog Park at Granite Regional Park, will open to the public.

The Skate Park’s design is awe-inspiring, just like the sport’s many tricks. Designed by Wally Hollyday, a world renowned skate park designer, its expert-level features will challenge the highly skilled, while its novice features will help train those who are less skilled. The Skate Park has eight bowls, some as deep as fifteen feet; a street course; and great circular flow. The Skate Park will stay open from 8a.m. to dusk, until lights are installed in late spring, 2007.

Not to be outdone, the Dog Park boasts rich landscaping; trees and shrubs; a dog drinking fountain; and access to a tranquil pond. Most of these features are located within a gated, off-leash park. The Dog Park will stay open from dawn to dusk.

An official grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting is scheduled for spring, 2007. In the meantime, residents can use the two amenities, beginning Friday, November 24, 2006. Councilmember Kevin McCarty, City of Sacramento officials, and invited guests will be on hand to open the Skate Park and Dog Park to the public. The public and media are invited to attend.
