          [Grand Prairie Celebrates Improvement Project @ Turner Park]
          [00:00:03]
ALRIGHT, YEAH. 
          GRANT PRAIRIE IS CELEBRATING PHASE ONE OF A MAKEOVER AT TURNER PARK. 
          $2 MILLION WORTH OF IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE AT THE PARK, INCLUDING A NEW PLAYGROUND. 
          TWO NEW PICNIC PAVILIONS, A NEW RESTROOM THAT DOUBLES AS A STORM SHELTER, A NEW LIGHTED TRAIL WITH BENCHES AND BENCH SWINGS, A NEW PARKING LOT, AND A BASEBALL TRIBUTE TO THE FORMER SIDE OF THE GRAND PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL FIELD OFFICIALS SAY THE UPGRADES WILL BRING NEW LIFE TO ONE OF THE CITY'S OLDEST PARKS. 
          I WAS ALWAYS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS PARK WAS NAMED AFTER GH H TURNER BECAUSE HE WAS A MAYOR, AND THAT'S PARTLY TRUE. 
          HIS FAMILY DONATED THE 45 ACRES OF THE CITY. 
          HE WAS NOT ONLY A GREAT MAYOR, BUT HIS FAMILY, VERY BENEVOLENT. 
          GROWING UP HERE IN GRAND PRAIRIE, I CAN REMEMBER COMING TO TURNER PARK. 
          THEY, UM, THE PARK AND RECREATIONS OUT OF THE DALWORTH RECREATION CENTER WOULD HAVE SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAM CAMPS OVER HERE AT TURNER PARK. 
          SO THEY WOULD LOAD US UP ON BUSES AND THEY WOULD BRING US HERE LIKE ONE, ONE TIME OUT OF A WEEK DURING THE SUMMERTIME. 
          AND WE WOULD STAY AT THIS PARK LIKE ALL DAY. 
          NOT ONLY DID I LOVE THIS PARK, BUT I LOVE THIS BASEBALL FIELD. 
          AT THAT TIME, I PLAYED IN THIS PARK AS HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL PLAYER FOR THREE YEARS, BUT ALSO I WATCHED MANY GREAT PLAYERS AND GR AND A LOT OF GREAT TEAMS FROM GRAND PRAIRIE AND A LOT OF GREAT TEAMS FROM SOUTH COME OVER HERE AND PLAY. 
          SO I GOT A LOT OF ENJOYMENT OUTTA HERE. 
          THE PROJECT WAS FINANCED WITH FUNDS FROM THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT AND WAS COMPLETED ON TIME AND UNDER BUDGET.
