Grandview has its very own park, located on 11th Ave, just south of the condos! It is a shady green space with a playground and ramada. Tawa Park is used by kids, big and small, for journaling, drawing, homework, hanging out, running around, playing on the playground and more. It’s the perfect spot for the Grandview Mamas and Dads to host their kid friendly meetups, for neighborhood events, play and everything in between.
Note: Use of the ramada is on a first come first serve basis.
