IELITO PARK is a 45-acre park built in

1970. A committee of various community

leaders, including Granada Neighborhood

Association and Vecinos Unidos Siempre, worked

hard with City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation

to help renovate our wonderful community park.

They developed several plans for renovation, after

which an open community meeting was held to

finalize which renovation plan would be chosen to

be funded:

New lights have been installed in the soccer

field. The containment area for the new play area

is completed along with the design of the new

playground. Installation of the new play area

started at the end of September.

Drinking fountains and walks have been

installed with several more to go. Once

completed, a stabilized decamped granite

path will be installed.

New lighting throughout the ENTIRE park

will begin in October with an expected completion

date at the end of December 2013.

Also, Vecinos Unidos Siempre blockwatch

group, along with children fromGranada East

Middle School and other Granada residents,

participated inmaking a beautiful mural as a way

to promote positive activities and crime prevention.

The inauguration event was held July 15, 2013.
