At first, I was very impressed with the vast vicinity but it was shortly followed with disappointment. I went for a flag football tournament and there were no signs directing us to the field. The facility was huge so it would have been nice if they provided some directions. We went through their volleyball courts and basketball area until someone told us we could not go through the area and had to go around the whole building to reach the field.   It was advertised that there would be food and beverage vendors and that it would be well equipped, but that was not the case. There was a burrito food truck and shaved iced truck. Where were the vendors? The only ones there were from the flag football tournament selling merchandise.   As a spectator I was hoping for a variety of opinions, especially since they charge a $20 spectator fee in addition to $5 parking. PS it gets quite cold at night so I recommend bring layers! read more

It was pretty cool coming to see a pickleball competition here! I've never been to an event like it and didn't know what to expect, but they had dozens of courts being used all at once and even had a few little food trucks and tents setup for beverage options! It really is a sports complex, with baseball fields in one area, pickleball courts in another and so much more! read more

Bell Bank Park - Pickleball courts - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I have competed in both the APP Mesa Open & PPA Foot Solutions Grand Slam in the last few months at the Legacy Pickleball Complex at Bell Bank Park. I have been VERY impressed by the staffing & organization from both tournaments. Ryan Trefry, the Director of Pickleball at Legacy Sports, has done a tremendous job running these pickleball events & developing the pickleball programs from the ground up. If you get the chance, I highly recommend going out to this new complex to see what I'm talking about. They feature 42 Courts (all inclosed with fencing) & a Stadium Court that holds up to 500 people! This is the premier pickleball center in all of Arizona. The parking is still a work in progress so recommend arriving 30 minutes early on the weekend to beat the Soccer Moms traffic. They host Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball, Baseball, AND Pickleball events so the traffic is understandable! Very proud of this new addition to the Arizona Pickleball community & looking forward to playing in more events in the near future! read more

My review is based solely from competing in the PPA Foot Solutions Pickleball Tournament. This was an amazing experience... 42 courts makes this the biggest pickleball facility I've visited so far. Each court is fenced off with a shaded bench area between each court. This makes it safe to bring in bags without interfering with play. The fences are spaced perfectly to the courts so you never feel cramped when chasing down pickleballs. The showcase stadium court is covered which makes for a comfortable experience when I was watching the pros play. There isn't a bad seat in the house. I was fortunate to play on Court #3 which was one of the surrounding showcase courts. That was a great experience The concession stand attendants were all friendly and attentive on the 3 days I visited. The selection of wines, beers and seltzers was great, they had something for everyone. The bathrooms were spacious and had plenty of urinals. The water fountain was setup to refill my sports bottle throughout the day. This facility had everything you could possibly ask for in a pickleball complex. The tournament was extremely organized and all the volunteers and referees were amazing. I'll definitely be back to compete at this venue. Enjoy! read more

While Bell Bank Park (aka Legacy) is extremely geographically undesireable for me personally, it is a very nice addition to the Mesa/Queen Creek community. If I take away the frustration of having to drive so far away, I will say that the complex is huge... I've been to their indoor area for some indoor soccer and more times than I can count to their outdoor soccer fields. The complex also has fields / courts for pretty much every sport imaginable from pickleball to baseball, basketball, etc... and there are tons of event held on this property because it is so big. The staff is usually pretty friendly and there are onsite food trucks, bathrooms, a restaurant, etc... there is typically a farmers market on weekends too. Things to keep in mind -- many that are mentioned in previous reviews: -The WiFi there is pretty much non-existent which is super frustrating -They expect you to pay for parking most of the time -They sometimes also charge for admission, even if you're a parent going to watch your child play -While beautiful, the turf has those little black rubber "crumbs" - which give the fields more cushion but can get a bit messy -It gets super hot out there and there is limited shade So... three stars for an "ok" rating and I feel that is a bit generous! read more

The word 'massive' doesn't do it justice. Still under construction, and has a lot of bugs to work out. $250 Million gets you 35+ soccer fields, 20+ basketball courts, 40+ pickleball courts and don't forget about baseball & softball... Pros & Cons make this review 'down the middle'... so really a 2.5. The large field houses are capable of accommodating volleyball tournaments and basketball tournaments and today I witness a first, indoor soccer. Martin Luther King weekend tournament had over 150 volleyball teams participate over the course of three days and to be honest, the facility just wasn't staffed, organized or capable of dealing with the volume of people. That's when the Cons kick in... CELLULAR SIGNAL.... NONE, Parking STINKS, rules and guidelines are inconsistent. One major knock is the signal as most of the major phone companies have horrible reception so hopefully, they put in some towers in the near future to help with that. Will they, doubtful, everyone will probably have to register through a portal to use their wifi and the Single day QR Codes to purchase let you know how they are about to 'get that $$$' moving forward!! Parking is free but do plan ahead. Doesn't matter if you're coming off the 202 or heading north on Ellsworth... it could take you 20-30 mins in traffic to park. This place has the potential to be a lot better and hopefully, over the coming months it will be. Not sure how the summer will look but they'll figure it out I'm sure. Granted it's clear that it's early stages of being released and lots of work still needs to be done but after walking the property today it's clear that they are making this the epicenter for sports here in Arizona. read more

This place is an amazing sports complex but they are still going through their growing pains, I think. I love the basketball courts, very nice, the leagues and tournaments are well organized. However, I never get overly excited about going there because of the traffic to get in, parking. It is always so congested that whenever I think I have to go in, I am always like "oh no, I have to go that place, ugh" but when I am there I do enjoy the facilities. Hopefully they will get that figured out. I also don't like all of the fees, I find those pricey and probably makes sport less accessible to those less fortunate. This is actually something I have noticed in many sports facilities however, so not just their problem. Otherwise, it is nice to have such complex in AZ. Hopefully it will improve logistics and fees. read more

Bell Bank Park - Basketball courts, very nice - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This place was amazing! So many different events being held here. We were using the soccer fields. They were really nice. This location has a lot of bathrooms. They were all pretty clean the three days we were there. They have restaurants and other food items available. I saw an arcade too! They have a ton of parking but it was a hassle to get out one of three days we were there. The days where they have a ton of events, they probably should have people directing traffic. Other than that this facility was great. read more

Ok this place is new so I'm guessing things will improve over time. There are areas still under construction with materials and equipment stored off to the side. There is still a lot of dirt road only access to some areas like the large grass area, which is where I attended the Strong Beer festival. There is very spotty weak cell service. None of my party had great data service which made it very hard to get an uber. Not ideal for a beer festival. Plus it's just far af. I won't attend the festival again if it's out here. Just seems like a bad idea. ------------ I also attended a baseball tournament here. The first thing to know is these fields are all TURF. No grass. So be sure to bring the right cleats, molded cleats or turf shoes. Not sure if the covers for metal cleats are allowed. There is a COVER CHARGE depending on the event you attend. You can buy at the entrance or before hand on tixr. Each field has an electronic scoreboard with the Main field having a mini-Jumbotron. There are covered bleachers, but some are positioned poorly though they can be moved so hopefully they will do that at some point. Plenty of room for your chairs and tents if necessary. There are a few scattered picnic tables though again placed in random weird spots. Could be better. For food and drinks there are food trucks, but the variety is very small. Burgers and hot dogs. No vegetarian or vegan options like it says in the website. They likely rotate depending on how big the event is, but that's a guess. There was an alcohol truck with a variety of beers, seltzers and other beverages. Overall an ok place. Will update after the tournament with how the kids liked or disliked playing on the turf. ------------ Update: so for actual baseball players be ready for the ball to fall dead and flat on the turf. Balls are slowed down drastically in general. The ball will not roll or jump randomly. Also while sliding is smooth, you may not get as far as you anticipate. We had a few players stop short of bases and get out. read more

My first take was Wow! So many sporting venues and great land space however the attention to cleaning needs to be amped up. The soccer tournament I attended each day was Friday-Monday. On Monday the trash over flowed and the really nice bathrooms were beyond dirty. read more

LOVE the softball fields here. I play on the Thursday night league. My dog loves coming to softball with me and has become our team mascot. They had great porta potties but must've recently switched them out. HEADS UP - The new ones are TERRIBLE. if you're playing downwind on a field near them you get a crazy disgusting whiff of the waste. Hopefully they'll switch back. Aside from that if you're walking in to the fields the bathrooms are great. read more

Bell Bank Park - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I went there one time to check out their sports bar, saw they charged for parking, turned around and never went back. It's no wonder it's failing. read more

Charge $5 for parking. Are you kidding. Food below average. Bad layout. Not user friendly.

Bell Bank Park is an example of capitalism gone awry. Short are the days where Arizona has public parks where anyone can enjoy the sunshine and watch our local sports teams compete - whether it's little league games, soccer, or beer league softball. Remember when you could just go to a park to use their outdoor racquetball, tennis or basketball courts without having to burn through discretionary income? Well, Bell Bank Park doesn't want you to remember when essentially everything they are offering outdoors used to be FREE. For some reason, the song Big Yellow Taxi runs through my head as I write this review: "They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum / And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them." We found out very quickly that the name of the game at Bell Bank is to get as much cash from each family as possible. Want to come watch your nephew play in his soccer game? Buy a ticket. Want to watch a bunch of middle-aged weekend warriors sprain their ACL during a beer league softball game - buy a ticket. While you're at it, pay $15+ for a hot dog and a drink and don't even think about bringing your own food. There is literally nothing you can do at this park that is free. Everything is a cash grab. Well, I take that back - there is a ping pong table that they haven't quite figured out how to monetize yet. Hint: Sell the ping pong balls or $20 each. As a QC resident who lives just a couple miles down the road from BBP, I am saddened that the Town of QC and City of Mesa couldn't have installed a public recreation area or a park like this that generates money for the communities, not the corporate fat cats. Shame on everyone for Bell Bank Park, from city leaders who approved this to those running the joint. read more

Incredible place for sports competitions! Lots of parking. Nice to see more food vendors starting to pop up. read more

NOT family friendly. In addition to having to pay all the fees for tournament play at this place, they find ways to overcharge for everything! I was appalled that families could not bring their own food and eat outside even in the parking lot! It wouldn't surprise me if they start charging to use the bathroom. Hot dog is over $10, 16 oz soda is over $5. Even though the tournament fees are paid you still have to pay to watch your children play. The facilities are nice, but too crowded and that leads to getting hit by balls from adjacent courts while playing. Because the focus is on your own kids the unprotected impact from getting hit in the back of the head is a serious failing they have by not having netting up to protect people. read more

What a nightmare...went to see my grandson play 7 year old soccer. Signage = sucks. Wandering around in a car in a parking lot where pedestrians seemed to be given no thought (no sidewalks so everyone wandering through the lot itself obstructing traffics) trying to find the field. What a nightmare! Then....wandering to the fields with no signage...don't make a wrong turn or you have to backtrack back to the tiny sidewalk to find field. Finally, found it. The fields are awesome it's just too bad getting in and finding was such good stress free fun!!!! Oh, then ya want to leave....prepare to have a looooooong wait. I think Ellsworth a should definitely be less lanes and less turn lanes into places like this. I agree with another review that the town of QC and Mesa should be ashamed at taking sports and events like this and making it a profit making endeavor!!! read more

ZERO STARS!!! HUGE facility with no signs to lead you to fields, you will walk very far to your final destination to which you will pay to park, pay to enter and left with no options for food or drink unless you want Kona snow cone. I purposefully looked at a field map to park close to that field since I have physical parameters only to still walk MILES to field as they only had 1 gate open to charge people, they had about 20 golf carts just sitting with no shuttle service to those whom need it. Honestly would love for my sons teams to always opt out of playing tournament just based on this facility. read more

-Long lines of cars in and out -Fee to park, but you can't connect phone inside to pay because there is NO wifi and no one has cell service inside (basketball and volleyball courts) -bathrooms not kept stocked (no towels, stalls closed, hard to find hand soap as so many are empty) -too many activities here at once so parking is hard to find -too expensive to bring rest of family to cheer at the game.

For nine dollars you would think that you could get a pretzel with that wasn't as hard as a rock. The cheese is just as hard! Weird! Plus the five dollars for parking, you really feel like you got fucked read more

I REALLY wanted to love this place due to all the programs it has to offer and the facility itself is amazing. However, it's almost impossible to get into the park and find parking and be able to get to anything on time here! This place has SO MUCH to offer and it does hosts SO MUCH all at once as well. Never had a weekend where there was no event happening whether it's a game, cheer competition, etc. always a reason for a major traffic delay. Plan to invest about an extra 25-35 minutes to crawl into the parking area, find parking and hike to your intended destination/building. I hate being late to anything so this really irks me. Multiple times I've had to get dropped off with my daughter for her dance class and my husband goes about finding parking. Of course he eventually gets to join us 15 mins into the class - definitely NOT ideal if we can't come together and would have to find parking prior to class start time. What they really need is maybe 2 more entrances and a few parking structures to be able to handle the amount of traffic they're bringing in with these weekly events/competitions throughout the park. To get to the drop off area on a single lane takes about 10-15 minutes with people not knowing where to go/stopping to ask questions with the parking staff. read more

Bell Bank Park - Just a normal day waiting to get into the parking lot only to park a mile away and hike over to our destination yayyy - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We really enjoyed the ball park. Attending an event it was busy between us and kids and their families coming to play soccer or baseball. The event we attended was well marked so we knew where to go. GPS told us how to get in the area without any issues. They have so much to offer. I understand most amenities have fees, but running a 320 acre massive park isn't cheap and it is privately family owned not city or state funded. It was quite busy when we left, but all us families treated all cross traffic areas thoughtfully like a 4 way stop and took turns and would let cars waiting come out as well. Any place I have ever gone with large venues has a wait. P.I.R., Compton Terrace,, State Farm Stadium. It's the nature of the beast. Hopefully for larger venues they can work on adding more roads coming off the park leading to main road exits to accommodate. If you attend and event or are part of a club I recommend communicating and researching ahead of time the field and location on site. read more

Criminals. You do shady stuff with double charging card last year for team tournament fees. Then this year charging for parking, entrance fee (daily), $5 Kirkland 16oz water bottle and $17.33 for 2 slices of pizza (which I refused to pay). Shame on you! Greedy greedy greedy and you deserve your failed business. Feel bad for the group taking over the restaurant. read more

We pay to enter, we pay to park... and our girls have to play in a very warm and humid court? Because they had the heater on... and now with all the bodies and supposedly AC being turned to 70* with no doors propped open to ventilation is not fair for them to play in such matter.. I know ownership is being changed but this is NOT ACCEPTABLE! Kids should not need to play in such terms with a brand new facility and for the amount of money each team pays! read more

It is not cheap to book the artificial-grass fields here, but the grass quality is amazing. The parking on the north is very nice, but the parking on the east side is unpaved. For the fields far away from the main stadium, they offer the bathrooms in the mobile trailers between the fields, but they are very clean. My team love playing here, but it is too far; I wish it would be a bit closer to the central area. read more

Unpaid contractors, potential investor fraud, and now they're in default on their loans? Could it get any worse? This place screams greed and lack of knowledge of the needs of its users. I wonder who could possibly take over this facility and make it profitable, or will it just fall into oblivion? read more

Beautiful park but VERY poorly run!! Here for a 3 day baseball tournament when the weather is in the 40's. Day 1 and 2 everyone had heaters, dogs, outside drinks and food because the food trucks were very unreliable whether they would be open or not! All of a sudden on day 3, nothing was allowed! Turned away back to the car with the heater. Outrageous amount of money to get into the park, $10/day or $30 for the weekend--figure that one out, plus processing fee for using a credit card yet they don't take cash, $5 parking when there aren't any #'s on the parking spaces--they just want to take your money anyway they can. Food trucks aren't open at the end of the day or the beginning of the day, bathrooms are filthy, out of TP, broke down. All not surprising when the other reviews all say there are lawsuits against this place for not paying the contractors who built it. Owner should be fired! read more

I just returned from a 4-day weekend regional soccer tournament, held at this facility. After hearing how great this place was, and how they spent $280 million to construct it, I was prepared to be impressed. I was not. The few positive things about the place - it's very convenient from the freeway (202/24), both coming and going. And the 30+ soccer fields all have lights. And the parking seemed sufficient (although paying for parking thru text and web site etc seemed a bit clunky and multi-stepped). However, that's where the positives end. You would think if you spend this much money on a facility, you wouldn't have to walk through open dirt, muddy areas with construction fencing and no landscaping that look like they simply did 90% of the work and then went home. Even around the main stadium where we played, it looked half finished. Then, inexplicably, there is water pooling in places around the fields and in the food court area. WHY? It's a desert and it hasn't rained in weeks, why are there streams of random water?!? Then there are the bathrooms. On 2 of the 4 days, the main bathrooms next to the stadium (which arenot nearly large enough to handle 100s & 1000s of soccer players and their parents), was simply SHUT DOWN. So we are told to walk a bit down along the food trucks and find a large port-a-potty. Granted, it was one of the nicer ones they use on movie sets, but nowhere nearly enough capacity to handle this size crowd. Very long lines. And, there were garbage cans over flowing everywhere. They clearly had never properly calculated how many bathrooms would be needed and how much staff would be needed to keep the facility running smoothly. Oh, lastly, I believe the majority of the soccer fields were turf, which is great, but the main stadium, for some reason, was grass, which is not necessarily bad, if it was designed right. It was not. It constantly seemed to be watered/wet and had no drainage, so the players were slipping and sliding on it, even wearing cleats. Borderline dangerous. Overall, very disappointed with this place. read more

If going to go see your children play at a sporting event and fighting 30 minutes of traffic just to park in a lot with only 2 ways in/out is your jam, then this place is for you. Every opportunity for a cash grab here is shamelessly taken. The final straw now is the pay for parking situation. I suppose that since the facility owners are now officially in default of questionably obtained loans, they have to pass the cost in every way imaginable onto the captive audience. Here's some good reading: https://www.ahwatukee.com/news/article_ae0c3940-5483-11ed-9e76-ff240812d948.html read more

First the good. The parking lot is a mess and LOOOONG walks to soccer fields. Horrible directions. Doesn't matter where you park, there's only one entrance. And you pay for parking and entrance by the person. And today the bathrooms were roped off, closed. Yeah, that's the good. The bad...My son hates playing here. His least favorite surface in the valley. The surface is bad turf. It's hard, slippery and very, very, very hot. I think it's so bad it has to be unsafe. The glare is awful, too. I know a couple clubs call this home field - we'd try to find a different club. read more

This place SUUUUUCKS. Nothing about it is well thought out. They host multiple tournaments for different sports on same weekend, so there's 1.5 billion cars trying to squeeze into like two entrances. If you can manage to find a space before your event is over, they want to charge you 5 bucks for parking. There are signs up directing you to pay online, but there's no internet anywhere near the park. Spoke to an attendant who told me that I should send a screenshot to the number in the sign saying I wasn't able to pay, and if I got ticketed by parking enforcement anyway, I would have to go in to the offices to explain everything to get it resolved. If you make it in, you'll notice that there is one little restroom building for the entirety of the softball complex. Yeah they provide bathroom trailers closer to the outer fields, but apparently nobody checks on them because before long everything is clogged and overflowing and the floors are covered in piss. Eventually you'll get hungry, but you won't want to give up the parking space you had to Thunderdome like 100 other drivers for. I went for a $16 quesadilla to go with my $10 can of coors light, but I wound up getting my order cancelled on me because the vendor couldn't connect to the internet to charge me for the food. There's a dozen other reasons why this place sucks but it's making me angry just thinking about it and I don't want to kick my dog or something when I get home. Bell Bank Park is the worst. read more

What a great addition to the Mesa/Queen Creek community. This place is HUGE!! It has so many different fields, different events, concerts.... so much. It's just a large customized sports park is the best way to put it. With occasional concerts and events. Check their website for all the happenings this year. Can't wait to see what else they add over time. Don't forget about the restaurant, arcade, and a few small businesses that operate out of this location as well. Something for everyone in the fam. read more

This park is beautiful and has great fields. But the $5 daily parking and over $6 to enter to watch my son play soccer is a joke. Also, why ONE gate??? With the amount of fields this is ridiculous. If someone has a bad back it makes it hard to come and enjoy the day. The bathrooms were out of order. The food and drinks way overpriced. Get it together. Do better!! read more

Beautiful facility and well maintained fields, but no one wants to go here for events or tournaments because the traffic flow is terrible. They desperately need people directing traffic!!! You could get lucky and get right out or it could be an hour stuck with nowhere to move due to the design. read more

Do not go to this place if you don't have to. 2 hours in a car line to exit. Two entrances and bad design. Looks like something you would see in California at rush hour on the 5 freeway. Zero stars if i was able to select it. Avoid this facility at all costs. read more

Horrible design. The rain drains into the main area between buildings so building c is filling with water. Absolutely nowhere to get out of rain as it's all just a pergola.

Horrible location. Terrible layout. Pay to park and pay to see your own child playing in a tournament that we already pay to enter. On top of that, they rent the facility for political rallies while kids and families are trying to enjoy playing soccer. What a joke! read more

Not sure where to start on how terrible this place is. I can only speak on the basketball side but $18 to watch a basketball game is outrageous. Food is overpriced for the quality they serve and they don't take cash. Refs are bad at all places but exceptionally bad and rude here. They yell at the girls and genuinely look upset to be here. I get it a business and they put lots of money into it but don't kill the parents to make it all back at once. I imagine at some point so people will ask the coaches to stop scheduling games here and go back to other venues. Also as I sit here at their college viewing event I see one coach from a local JUCO.
