About the Location

Park Overview

Positioned in Chandler, Arizona, Centennial Park is a pleasant community space that spans 12.2 acres. It's one of those perfectly situated spots that locals can easily access, whether you're looking for some fresh air or a place to let the kids burn off energy.

The park is clean and well-kept, making it popular with families and outdoor enthusiasts in the area.

Open Spaces

One thing we appreciate about Centennial is the open fields that surround the various amenities. These grassy expanses are excellent for impromptu games of soccer or flag football with friends. If your little ones are showing interest in football, keep an eye out for the youth football clinics that occasionally take place here on weekends.

The open areas also make for great picnic spots or just places to spread out a blanket and enjoy some downtime. And yes, you can bring your four-legged friends along - the open spaces are pet-friendly and ideal for dog walking.

Walking Paths

Need to get your steps in? The park features a network of walking paths extending about 0.5 miles within the grounds.

These paths create a nice loop around the entire park, well-suited for a casual evening stroll, morning jog, or just wandering while taking in the scenery.

Sports Facilities

If you're in the mood for something more active, head to the centrally located basketball court or try your hand at the sand volleyball court.

Both courts come with lighting - a thoughtful touch that lets you keep the game going even after the sun goes down.

Playground

The newly updated playground is popular with families. It has modern equipment for kids of different ages, and the covered play area provides important shade during hot Arizona days.

Parents can relax knowing the playground is kept notably clean and well-maintained, creating a safe environment for little explorers.

Picnic Areas

Planning a gathering? Centennial Park offers two large ramadas equipped with benches and electrical outlets (a practical feature).

These covered structures provide excellent shade and enough space to host family get-togethers, birthday celebrations, or community meet-ups.

Amenities

While the park has plenty to offer, note that there are no public restrooms available on site - something to keep in mind when planning your visit.

The park welcomes visitors daily from 6AM to 10:30PM, giving you plenty of time to enjoy all its features from early morning until well after dinner time.
