It s clear that many families in Western Colorado have had enough with the pandemic, COVID-19, vaccines, and wearing face masks. That was on display yesterday as a collection of parents and students who are enrolled in District 51 organized a walkout to protest school mask policies according to KKCO. The event was organized at Long Family Memorial Park right next to Grand Mesa Middle School and Central High School.
Many parents are feeling like the school district administration needs to listen closely to the Mesa County Public Health officials and give each student their own choice whether they want to wear a face mask while attending school or not. Mesa County is currently letting individuals use the Free to Choose policy in regards to wearing masks.
Just off Patterson Road there is a collection of undeveloped fields and a few informal trails that, if developed, would be the largest city park in Grand Junction.
Matchett Park, which had been the proposed site for a community center, sports fields, bike trails and a community pavilion before being voted down in 2019, has sat undeveloped since the city purchased it in 1996. Since then, the city has developed two large parks â Canyon View and Long Family Memorial Park â but, in the time since, demand for sports fields and outdoor shelters has more than doubled.
While a community center was identified as the top priority for Grand Junction residents in the recent Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Master Plan, there was interest in developing Matchett Park specifically. That interest extended to amenities a developed park would provide, such as multipurpose fields and trails.
