Granby Park Diary



With only two days to go, the long awaited Granby Park will be unveiled this week and opened to the public. Are you looking forward to the exciting moment?

   During the past few months, a group of enthusiastic people has devoted their continuous inspiration, wisdom, and hard working to the construction project of Granby, which makes the opening possible. Sincere thanks to all of them!

   Have you read the updates on our official website, Facebook page or Twitter? Do you know how much the vacant site has changed in such a short time? As the great work is nearly finished, let me take you to review the progress of Granby Park day by day, little by little in the latest two months.

11 July, the original look of empty wasteland.

29 July, the building started!

1 August, new surface was laid down and the ground became much flatter.

2 August, sand was spread over the hardcore.

10 August, grass sods saved from a neighboring road construction were placed on it.

14 August, polytunnels were built up!

17 August, the park was nearly shaped!

......

20 August, the building is still going on!

Let's count down and together expect the open of Granby Park!
I believe you'll have an exciting and amazing experience this summer from here!
