A new era in recreation has arrived at Garden Grove Park! Check out the aviation themed fun and try all of the innovative attractions. The playground along with new pavilions and improved lighting make the park a family friendly destination. And, shining a light on a little problem before it becomes a big one. That's what the Garden Grove Unified School District wants to accomplish with the app, STOPit. With STOPit, students, parents, teachers or just about anyone can anonymously report a problem. GGTV3 Reporter Breanna Greenup has the stories.
