Infinity Park South Now Open! |
 |
The new Infinity Park South on the southwest corner of E. Tennessee Avenue and S. Cherry Street is now open!
Come out this Memorial Day weekend and enjoy Glendale’s newest public recreation area!
Infinity Park South is now Glendale’s biggest public park. It is important because none of our citizens have a yard to play in here in Glendale. This park will serve as our backyard with lots of landscaping and places to run around, throw the Frisbee or just get out and be active.
For ten years or more, the City has been planning for this park. There have been many moving parts needed for the planning, financing and implementation of this project. One key element for the City has been Mayor Pro-Tem Mike Dunafon. As chairman of the Glendale Planning Commission, he has been with this project from the very beginning and led this effort to a successful conclusion.

Glendale Is Digging Up Dirt and Using It Well |
|
 The rise in the terrain at Exposition and Cherry Street is known at Glendale City Hall as Mount Glendale. Under autumn’s grey skies and freezing rain, park construction in the City of Glendale might not look like progress. The ongoing build-out of the Infinity Park expansion project is working from the ground up. Huge equipment labors at digging, sorting, relocating dirt - lots of it. The fall report for progress on Glendale’s 8+ acre park may look like dirt, but the completion forecast for late spring will be a new day in the morning for the City landscape.
