County of Granville issued the following announcement on Feb. 19.

Local businesses and residents now have the opportunity to imprint their legacy on the Granville Athletic Park (GAP) by reserving their space on the new sponsors mural planned for installation later this year. The mural will be prominently displayed at the shelter facility in Phase III of the park, adjacent to the accessible playground, tennis courts, and sand volleyball area that opened in 2021.

There are four sponsorship levels available at multiple price points ranging from $1,000 to $7,500. Each tier offers a different level of prominence and visibility on the mural to allow a business or family donation to be permanently recognized and featured for the thousands of visitors that visit the GAP each year. 

Since opening in 2004, the GAP has truly become the crown jewel recreational complex for Granville County residents. The park consists of miles of paved walking trails, an 18-hole disc golf course that weaves through tall pines and hardwoods, ball fields framed by foliage, an outdoor amphitheater perfect for showcasing special performances in the open air, and an outdoor classroom surrounded by plant life and sunshine.  Other features at the GAP include numerous amenities like the large sports pavilion, picnic shelters, children’s musical sound garden, outdoor fitness equipment, spray park, and a Storywalk® display. 

“The GAP has such an amazing history, and we are always looking for ways to honor the citizens and organizations that have made this park what it is today,” said Assistant County Manager Korena Weichel. “This sponsor mural will provide a permanent and highly visible recognition for those that have, and will continue, to make the GAP a special place for county residents and visitors alike. The generous donations made by these sponsors will ensure that future generations of Granville residents can enjoy the natural beauty and recreational amenities of the GAP for many years to come.”
