Nice new facility. Well located for the east Valley. While they are still buildong out amenities,…read more it is good ice. The ice surface itself is crisp and hard. The bkards are notably repurposed which definitely goes along with giving them character. At times though the bounces off the boards were not semetrical with the angle they hit the boards at, which is surprising and frustrating if you are playing defense. Likewise, the edging needs to be worked on to remove the bubbles and flatten the surface next to the boards as the ice matures. The final.thing you will notice while skating is the low ceiling which doesn't so much cause any problems other than your perspective in thinking the rink to be smaller than it actually is. The locker rooms are nicely spacious, although lacking good permanent benchs. Showers are missing as yet, but no doubt in the works. Generally speaking, this is a facility just opened but not fully built out. That said, it looks good, skates well and seems like a good start to good little ice rink. I'll be back!

While visiting family in Phoenix for New Year's, my 3 year old wanted to ice skate! Found this…read moresmall outdoor ice skating ring in downtown Mesa. There is a small parking lot behind the skating ring. Parking was free. We visited on 12/30/23. I purchased tickets the day before, which I highly recommend. Tickets were $10/person. Upon arrival, they had a stand by line and a pre-purchased ticket line. There were a lot of people waiting in standby, as tickets for this day were sold out. Tickets are only needed for ice skating. There is lots of room for family/friends to watch and hangout while you skate. After checking in, we were given tickets that we exchanged for skates. They only had hockey style skates. Note, the small size skate is an 8T (toddler). So if your toddler has a smaller foot they give them foot skates, which attach to the bottom of kid shoes. There was plenty of seating to sit and put shoes on. We went with family so they held onto our shoes, otherwise you would have to rent a locker to keep items in. Next to the skate checkout stand were ice skating assists (plastic walkers for young kids, see pic). These were an additional $5 to rent, WORTH IT! There were several employees constantly brushing the ice. On this particular day the sun was warm and the ice was melting a bit, so they had to keep brushing the water, but this didn't interfere with our skating. We enjoyed the ice skating. Cheap and fun family outing. There was an AT&T pop up tent nearby so we checked out the booth where my kids got to jump in the snow globe! So fun! There was one dessert food truck also, and I saw online that they had other trucks coming and other fun events. Definitely worth checking out!

For the longest time I would skate at this pop-up rink during the holidays with group of friends…read more It's always fun to see families come out for an evening of skating. Because it doesn't snow in the Valley, these little makeshift rinks are the way to go in Arizona. For awhile, CitySkate was located on Central Ave and could hold quite a few people. But because of the light rail extension construction, it got moved to the CityScape plaza area. This has made the ice skating rink smaller and more crowded. So I haven't been in quite some time because of this. CitySkate usually opens around Thanksgiving weekend and stays open until after the New Year. General admission prices are close to $20. Kids, seniors and military are a little cheaper. There is a Christmas Tree in the center of the rink that you can skate around. This is a fun option for families during the holidays if it isn't too crowded.

I've played in many other leagues where the director or one of their people will get back to me quickly with options to join a team. Clearly, some teams rolling 7 or 8 skaters every week and holding down the bottom of the standings need serious help e.g. more players. I wonder if the team reps know that people are trying to join teams but can't because CAHL is not responding to people.

First of all, go Giants! Loved seeing Spring Training for the first time and thank you to my dad…read morefor taking me. It was so fun and such a memorable experience. 100% recommend taking your kids to get autos, run around for pop flies and just enjoy the vibes. I wish I came here as a kid. If your thinking its going to be hot, just plan ahead with the weather and also book evening games. Scottsdale Stadium feels historic and just feels right! It felt like a true mini Giants stadium with merch stands, Giants decor, this is due to this being one of the very few stadiums that's not shared. Plenty of concessions with a variety of types of food too. The slope of grass in the back has a bunch of families set up with blankets to enjoy the game too. Overall easy to navigate!! Food was not too bad here too! They have some long hot dogs that a lot of people were getting. We got some island noodles that was okay, it was supposed to be soba noodles but it was basically just chicken chow mein. A tip for the stadium is that they have free refill stations so you can bring an empty water bottle to fill up!

It still felt like a MLB game just on a more personal level. Our tickets were in Charro Lodge at the Scottsdale Stadium. It was really easy to find where we needed to go and get lined up for food/drinks. Kids loved the Mac n cheese, Chicken tenders, fresh fruit and of course Sprite. My husband and I enjoyed Hamburgers, Fries and the drink selection. There was a lot of covered seating with umbrellas but the sun does sneak through making some spots hot to sit at. We had a pretty good view of the outfield and enjoyed watching the game. Everyone seemed really excited to be there and enjoyed mingling. Thank you, it was a great afternoon.

I've been here several times to watch my nephew's youth hockey team play games and skate with him…read moreduring stick time so I have to share my observations. The Good: The rink does have a nice snack spot, and a full bar. Super nice lady (Sandy) that I talked to while getting my food in the smaller snack bar. There's a Pure Hockey here that, despite being small, is very well-equipped with helpful and knowledgeable staff. I bought a pair of skates from them and they made sure I got a great fit. The Bad: The ice is in pretty rough shape, especially on the south side rink, it's clear that they don't properly flood or cut it in between sessions. Parents let their kids run around like feral animals, yelling and screaming, climbing on things, and no one seems to care and the employees certainly don't do anything about it. One of the worst parts about the rink is the bathrooms. I can't speak for the ladies, but the men's room is absolutely disgusting. There's always at least one urinal that's "out of service" and the last couple of times I've been (over the past two months) only one of the three sinks has worked. Half the time there's a 1/4 inch of some liquid on the floor, not sure if it's piss or water or what, but it's nasty as hell. Whoever runs this rink is a joke, I've looked into how much you charge for ice time and you clearly aren't investing a single dime into any improvements or even basic maintenance. Get your sh!t together and fix the bathrooms, clean the place once in a while, and invest a little money into making the ice better!

I didn't make it to the pool area but did wander in the community garden which was really nice. There's a monarch station that was attracting lots of butterflies and hummingbirds, fruit trees, raised garden beds, a mud play area, and some shaded seating. An events listing showed a schedule of community activities coming up. The parking on the McKemy side was a little strange -- they left the actual parking spots as dirt and a number of them are already turning into a bit of an off-roading situation. I think this was put in within the last 2 years. Overall a nice little community park! Not necessarily a destination from across the valley, but a good spot for taking kids to play. It doesn't really have a walking path to take a long stroll like Kiwanis, but felt like a great community park.
