My grandson wanted one last day at a skatepark before flying back to Chicagoland. We chose this…read moreplace. I got here early to walk the perimeter. The complex is huge and there is so much to do! I parked at the skatepark, used the public restroom, then walked past soccer fields, baseball fields, the corner dog park, pickleball amd tennis courts. The paths I used were either paved or crushed gravel. There were water fountains for humans and dogs at several locations. The perimeter was 1.5 miles. I enjoyed the dog park area with its green grass and shade. My grandson enjoyed the skatepark with its bowl. Several older people were there as well. Maintenance crew kept the place clean. There are several parking lots within the complex.

Recently attended a softball tournament here. The fields looked pretty nice, but a lot of the girls…read moreslipped when they ran. It was a sunny day, so I'm not sure what was wrong with the field. They have plenty of benches at each field, but they're uncovered so watch out for flying softballs! We almost got hit by one from the field behind us. Definitely bringing umbrellas for protection next time. We were there for a few hours, so I had to use the bathroom a couple of times. The first time, the stall I went into ran out of toilet paper, but someone had left a bunch in there from another stall. There was only one sink, and the faucet is the kind that you press then let go and it should run for a short time. But this faucet stopped as soon as you let go. Fortunately I always carry hand sanitizer with me. Later I had to use the restroom again, and only the same stall was available. This time there was zero toilet paper. The bathroom was not like in the worst condition ever, but they should at least make sure the bathroom is stocked with toilet paper, especially when they know a tournament or other sports event is scheduled that day.

Thus, providing beautiful architecture for your eyes to gaze upon. Parking is a non-issue here, as there is plenty. Turf! Once this park reopens it will be a treat for both you and your dog, as he won't be bringing a ton of dust back into the vehicle.

One of the most beautiful dog parks I've been to yet…read more It has tons of water for the pups & it has it split in two one side is fenced and the other isn't. They have about 6 gated sections but some were locked shut and others were open. They have an area to wash your pets off after they have had their fun. My pups had such a blast and were wiped out by the time we left There was tons of grass areas such a big park. They have a few playgrounds for kids as well. I loved the fire hydrant water station it was a cute addition.

When I arrived, there was nothing but gates surrounding majority of the dog park (besides walking trails). The sign showed as being closed and being closed for a couple of more weeks. It was a waste of gas and disappointing. There should be an update, so people are aware of it not being opened currently.

Incredibly envious of this dog park and the neighborhood. In California, we have traveled to many…read moredog parks, and none of them compare to this one. It's clean, people are responsible in picking up after their dog, people are quick to correct dog behavior, and overall people are just generally nice. They have three big dog parks at this dog park. They fluctuate between keeping two open and one maintained. There is an area for dogs under 30 pounds, active dogs, and passive dogs. Can't wait to come back to this dog park when we're visiting. Scottsdale does it right!

Very easy review- the best dog park anywhere near me. I'm located in north Tempe. Chaparral dog…read morepark is in Scottsdale and it's about a 12 min drive for me. This is not the closest place for me to go but it's by far the best. 3 large fenced in dog park areas, many types of friendly and fun pooches will be there for your fur babies to play with. It's fun for me to see all the different types of breeds that come here. Most of the pups are well behaved. I've seen a couple times some negligent owners on their phones so spaced out, don't pick up their dogs poop or watch what their dogs are doing, but as far as dog parks go- it's the best for not having to stress that something negative will happen. I've been to other dog parks in the area that just had bad vibes. This one is nice and happy. It's as clean as a dog park can be, they do regular maintenance to the grounds, and there is a huge parking lot. It's also nice to walk the dogs in that area as well. My boys love it here and I'm happy to take them. Important to note- check the hours on certain days since they do the maintenance and close the parks. I've shown up a couple times forgetting about this and it was closed, so we just went for a nice walk instead.

This one have lots of benches and picnic tables for owners to sit and rest. There are a few trees and it's flat and open. Fully fenced and secured. They have doggy bags for picking up doggy Doodoo.

Went to Tempe Beach Park for the 2026 Reggae Rise Up Festival…read more We rode the light rail to the event to avoid the hassle of finding a place to park. The festival was laid out exceptionally. There were plenty of vendors, tons of great food trucks, the stages were thoughtfully placed & the clever artist rotation assured that there was music playing at all times. Our only regret is that we did not bring chairs to sit in. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, watch my video from the event to get a glimpse on what the festival had to offer. Would highly recommend attending for 2027 if you missed it this year! Such a great day!

It's a beautiful location with scenic views of the bridges and water, and there's even a nearby museum which adds to the experience. Parking can be a bit of a mixed situation. There is a parking garage available, but it does require payment. We also noticed an additional open lot next to the garage where you can park for free; however, it is gated and the surface is mostly dirt and rocks, so just something to keep in mind. One thing we didn't come across was a public restroom, so it's unclear where the nearest one is located. Overall, it's a great area to visit and enjoy events. My only suggestion would be to add more parking options or provide a designated free parking area for visitors, so not everyone has to pay for parking.
