Mike Bean has served as the Town of Granville Parks and Recreation Director since March 2017.  Prior to holding that position, he served 24 years as a firefighter.  Now having retired from firefighting, he dedicates his days in the summer to improving the Granville Park.

Mike’s involvement with the park began in in 2006 when he was part of the group that formed the Mon County Girls Softball League.  In the second year of its existence, Mike became President of that league and held that position for 6 years.  Some of his accomplishments were the installation of the lights on multiple fields and bringing the ASA/USA softball organization to the league.  Also, he had a large part of bringing the USA National Team to Morgantown in 2014.

Mike works directly with the softball league and coordinating activities with them and assuring no activities are overlapping.  He oversees and schedules ‘Movie in the Park’ and ‘Granville Summer Concert Series’, along with several softball tournaments throughout the summer.
