The East Mesa Community Park is a 10-acre site, located at the northeast corner of Avenue 6E and 36^th Street.  The new park is identified as one of City Council’s highest priorities in the City’s Strategic Plan.

This park site is envisioned largely as a passive park, with open turf areas for multi-use sports play. It could also include amenities such as ramadas, restrooms, a playground, disc golf, exercise equipment, pickle ball and basketball courts. In addition, elements such as an art component, ponds, and walking/jogging paths could be incorporated into the design.

This initial phase of the project is intended to engage the community in helping to identify the programming and amenities desired at this future park.

The parcel was specifically purchased for use as a park, fire station, and Avenue 6E improvements. A portion of the purchase was funded through development fees in response to rapid development in this area of the City.

In 2015, the City conveyed approximately 11 acres to the Arizona Department of Veterans Services for construction of an 80,000 square foot veterans care facility. The future park will be designed in a way to complement the adjacent VA facility and is in the Parks Master Plan, approved by Council in October 2016.

Over the next several months, the community will have the opportunity to provide input and help develop the master plan for East Mesa Community Park.
