For the last 21 years Paul Ostapuk and the Friends of Lake Powell have been working to create a nature park atop of Grandview Knoll.
The mothballed project was recently green-lighted with unanimous approval from Page City Council at their May 9 council meeting, the same day that Coconino County awarded the city of Page a $50,000 grant for improvements to Grandview Knoll.
The $50,000 came with the help of Lena Fowler, Coconino County Supervisor for District 5, after being solicited by Ostapuk and the Friends of Lake Powell.
The stalled project began picking up momentum in March 2017 after it was adopted by the Canyon Club as their next community service project.
The project won’t cost the city of Page any money, but the city may contribute some in-kind services, such as the use of some of its construction equipment and/or work crews. Groundbreaking on the project is expected to occur in June.
The Lake View Nature Park, as it will be called, will feature an ADA accessible view area located on the top on the hill, which will include a shade structure and access to the nearby Rimview Trail.
