Harry Crabb Park Groundbreaking Thursday

Thursday morning, Roseville will be breaking ground on its 68th park.

Named after former Roseville Mayor Harry Crabb, Crabb Park is located on the corner of Secret Ravine Parkway between Scarborough Drive and Luciana Way. Crabb served on the Roseville City Council and Planning Commission and served Roseville residents for more than 25 years. He is also a strong supporter of youth sports activities.

Thursday's groundbreaking marks the start of phase one of the park. Phase one includes sand volleyball courts, restrooms, covered picnic area, turf area, children's play area and perimeter walkway. City staff expects the first phase will be complete in early 2013.

Future phases of construction will include expanding the park to 18.8 acres, lighted baseball and softball fields, lighted tennis courts, a junior soccer field and a snack bar.

The public is welcome to attend the Crabb Park groundbreaking set for 10 a.m. Thursday, May 10 at Luciana Way side of the park.
