The City of Garden Grove invites the community to attend a dedication event for Garden Grove Park’s new all-inclusive aircraft-themed playground on Tuesday, October 25, 2022, at 4:00 p.m., at 9301 Westminster Avenue. The free event will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony, themed giveaways, and treats.
The new play area boasts airfield- and space-themed equipment that includes airplane and rocket ship play structures, play chimes, a rocking play feature called the Cruiser, and a merry-go-round, which are ADA accessible.
In addition, the playground serves children with all ranges of abilities and allows them to play together.
Visitors can connect with Garden Grove Park’s history through a QR code placed on playground signage. When scanned, users are taken to a digital archive, detailing the park’s history as an aircraft landing location and flight-training site in the 1940s and ’50s.
Part of a $1.3 million improvement project, Garden Grove Park’s enhancements also include a new large pavilion with built-in barbecues, and dining and preparation tables, and three new picnic shelters with an ADA accessible walkway.
Garden Grove Mayor Steve Jones and members of the Garden Grove City Council will be on-hand for the dedication.
For more information, call (714) 741-5200.
