The City of Fresno has been granted immediate possession of Granite Park in central Fresno following a hearing on Friday, clearing the way for the city to take over operations of the park.<\/p>\n
The city terminated its lease with the Central Valley Community Sports Foundation in 2025 and filed eviction proceedings to remove the foundation as the operator.<\/p>\n
Two weeks ago, a judge found the Central Valley Community Sports Foundation in breach of its lease.<\/p>\n
At a hearing, the foundation asked to remain in the park while it appealed the ruling, but the judge declined the request.<\/p>\n
Counsel for the city and the Central Valley Community Sports Foundation are scheduled to meet to discuss plans for transitioning operations to the city.<\/p>\n
The park will continue to operate, and the city said it will honor existing reservations, league schedules, and scheduled events. <\/p>\n
The city said day-to-day availability will not change for families and teams that depend on the park.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe City will immediately begin addressing safety issues that have been deferred by CVCSF. We look forward to ensuring that there is a seamless transition for the community we serve,\u201d City Manager Georgeanne White said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The City of Fresno has been granted immediate possession of Granite Park in central Fresno following a hearing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":358665,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[112,114,113],"class_list":["post-358664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fresno","tag-fresno","tag-fresno-headlines","tag-fresno-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=358664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358664\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/358665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=358664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=358664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=358664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
