Facebook: City of Granger

Granger, founded in 1909,

is a quiet, industrial and farming community located on the banks of

the Yakima River. The City of Granger is nestled in the

Yakima Valley, at the intersection of Interstate 82 and Highway 223. The City has two municipal parks. The most popular, “Hisey Park”, often referred to as the “Dinosaur Park”, offers fun and recreation for the whole family. Here you will find a man-made pond, stocked annually for public fishing, that has a volcano-shaped

fountain, and Plesi the dinosaur. The pond is surrounded by

a 5/8th-mile walking path. The Park has plenty of picnic and barbecue areas, dinosaurs and the GRAND Amphitheatre used for City and other events! Located next to the Hisey Park pond is a boat ramp to the Yakima River.

The Granger Dinosaurs The dinosaur project was physically

started around April 1994.

The idea was actually mentioned a

couple years earlier at a community

planning meeting. At those meetings the

agenda was to create a community theme

and come up with something to revitalize

our Main Street and downtown area.

Several ideas were offered: a Spanish/

Mexican theme, historical preservation

with the old brick buildings etc...

In the early part of 1994, the Town’s

Public Works Department was given the

challenge of producing something along

the lines of a dinosaur theme. The Public

Works crew was in varying degrees

responsible for the community float which

had taken top honors all over the

Northwest for three-four years prior, so

this project was well suited for their

abilities.

The first dinosaur constructed was

the baby brontosaurus. Public Works

experimented with the construction

process and has very much refined the

steps in completing one of these

creatures.

As of 2015, the City of

Granger is home to 31 dinosaurs and

one caveman.

Join us, the first Saturday of June,

each year for Dino-n-a-Day, and help

create the newest member of the

Granger dinosaur family.
