County to Feature GAP Sponsors in New Mural  

GRANVILLE COUNTY PARKS AND GROUNDS: 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.”
