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.
