Centennial Park

Nestled in the heart of Granite Quarry, Centennial Park is a peaceful retreat where nature and community meet. Shaded walking paths wind alongside a stream and connect northward to Granite Lake Park, creating a scenic setting for a stroll. Visitors can enjoy a gazebo with nearby grills and granite slab tables, perfect for picnics or small gatherings. Additional picnic areas and benches are tucked throughout the park, offering spots to rest, listen to the sounds of nature, and enjoy the beauty of towering poplars and oaks. Whether you’re looking for a quiet escape, a place to gather with family, or a lunch break in the outdoors, Centennial Park provides a welcoming natural getaway right in town.

Granite Civic Park

Founded in 1950 through the generosity of Mr. J.F. Crook and the support of local citizens, Granite Civic Park has long been a centerpiece of community life in Granite Quarry. The 5.25-acre park offers a variety of amenities, including a large picnic shelter with a full kitchen and restrooms, a smaller shelter for family gatherings, and plenty of space for events. Recreation abounds with a baseball field, basketball courts, tennis and pickleball courts, and a playground conveniently located near the shelters. Blending history, community spirit, and recreation, Granite Civic Park remains a place where neighbors and families come together.

Granite Lake Park

Opened in 2007 on the site of the former Granite Lake pool, Granite Lake Park offers a mix of history and modern amenities in the heart of town. The one-acre lake features two piers and a lighted fountain, while surrounding paved walking trails connect to Centennial Park. Visitors can enjoy a gazebo, a shelter with restrooms, open picnic areas, a playground, and scenic views that make the park ideal for both relaxation and family fun. Thanks to the support of local families, foundations, and businesses, Granite Lake Park has become a cherished gathering place where memories of the past meet new traditions for generations to come.

Legion Building

The Granite Quarry Legion Building was built by the Granite Park Post, Inc. The name later changed to Livengood-Peeler-Wood American Legion Post #448, Inc. in April of 1950. For nearly 60 years, the building was home to Post #448. For more information about the history of the American Legion, click here.

The Granite Quarry Legion Building was conveyed to the Town of Granite Quarry in November of 2009 by American Legion Post #448. As the members of Post #448 aged and membership declined, the post could no longer continue with the necessary upkeep of the building itself. The members wanted to make sure the residents of Granite Quarry could continue to use the building as they had in the past. An agreement was reached that Post #448 would continue to use the building until they were no longer active. Updates to the building in 2010 were funded by a partnership with the Granite Quarry Civitan Club who still meet in the building.

Granite Quarry Legion Building is conveniently located adjacent to the Granite Civic Park which makes this a great place for an indoor event with the convenience of a playground and ballfield just steps away. It is a great facility for family reunions, birthday parties, bridal or baby showers, club meetings, art, exercise classes or whatever your special gathering may be. To ensure availability, this facility must be reserved through the Town Hall.
