Concern over parking spaces shared between Granite Park and businesses in the area is causing controversy that’s turned into an online war of words.
Club One Casino in Central Fresno is sounding the alarm regarding an ongoing issue with its neighbor, Granite Park.
“We became the lead tenants of the private property owners. We were put in the position where we need to enforcing parking agreements and enforcing the safety of the public,” said Club One Casino President Kyle Kirkland.
Kirkland says the issue is the lack of communication when the lease holder, Terence Frazier, hosts events that garner thousands of people to the open space.
“We have an ongoing unauthorized use of the parking lot, by the ball fields that we just can’t tolerate. Now, we have an agreement, the property owners have an agreement with the city of Fresno to allow for a certain amount of usage of the parking lot. For softball, baseball, what have you, there’s 142 spots,” said Kirkland.
Central Valley Community Sports Foundation, also known as CVCSF, leases Granite Park from the City of Fresno.
