more than $2 million. Roosevelt’s
project included a fundraising man­
ager who worked within the school
to raise nearly $2 million.
Friends of Grant Athletics kicked
off its capital campaign in Septem­
ber and, Lindley says, has raised
more than $400,000 from more than
600 donors.
Lindley says the vision to install
turf at the Grant Bowl began in 1999
when then football coach Gary
Thorson proposed playing home
games inside the bowl. The vision
quickly evolved to installing turf
and advanced once Lincoln installed
its field. Because of the Grant Bowl
being a public park, the overall
project required a significant level
of public input, which slowed the
process and altered the original
design.
and they’ve been itching to get
going for a long time. It’s great to
see it moving forward.”
Not only would the fields be used
by Grant High athletics, but nearly
two dozen community organiza­
tions, from Police Activities League
to soccer clubs and Little League,
would use the facilities.
With thiee fields already con­
structed at PPS high schools,
Lindley says the Grant High project
may ignite the larger project to in­
stall turf fields at Madison, Franklin,
Jefferson and Wilson at the same
time. Installing turf felds is a feature
of the $548 million facilities bond
measure the school district has put
before voters on the May 17 ballot.
“We don’t know how the ballot
measure is going to come out, and
that’s a bit of a hurdle because some
potential donors are waiting to see
the results,” Lindley says. "But
there’s a lot of interest in helping
create equity for students through­
out the district and that involves
a drainage system.
“It’s been a long haul, but it’s
slowly advancing,” says Lloyd
Lindley, the president of the friends
of Grant group, a non-profit created
to raise funds for the project as well
as create community awareness of
neighborhood sports program s.
“W e’re about 60 percent of the way
toward completion of the design
process, and it’s a great time to
show the public where we’re at.”
The boosters will join school and
parks officials during an open house
to showcase the project designs on
Wednesday, March 16 at 5 p.m. in

to install an artificial turf field, al­
though this project is unique be­
cause the Grant Bowl is owned by
Portland Parks and involved admin­
istrative approval from two public
organizations, which has created
additional hurdles beyond simply
raising funds.
