Sunset Palms Park

Recreation Facilities

Looking for a way to beat the Arizona heat? Sunset Palms Park features a splash pad - a relatively new addition that opened in 2023. It's become quite the hotspot for local kiddos wanting to cool off.

The splash pad runs seasonally (typically late May through early September) and opens daily at 11AM. Parents, you'll appreciate that this water play area is fenced with a single entrance, making it much easier to keep track of your little ones while they splash around.

Playground Areas

The park thoughtfully offers two separate playground areas catering to different age groups. There's a smaller playground where toddlers and younger children can play safely, while more adventurous kids can tackle the agility-style playground with its challenging climbing obstacles.

You'll discover all the playground classics here - swings for both babies and bigger kids, slides, and various climbing structures to conquer. Between the two play areas sits a covered picnic area, providing a shaded spot where you can relax while keeping an eye on your children.

Sports Amenities

Feeling athletic? The park offers a lighted basketball court and a baseball field that accommodate both organized teams and impromptu games with friends.

If you're into racquet sports, check out the four racquetball/handball courts - something you don't find at every neighborhood park. There's also a generous open field that's excellent for a casual game of kickball or just tossing a frisbee around.

Community Space

At its heart, Sunset Palms functions as a neighborhood hub where local residents come together to enjoy the outdoors. Its diverse amenities make it welcoming for people of all ages and interests.

Planning a gathering? You'll discover picnic areas with round tables and grills ready for your next family barbecue. The park's open grassy spaces and walking paths offer plenty of room for a leisurely stroll or morning jog. Dog parents will appreciate that their furry friends are welcome, with pet waste bags conveniently available near the entrance.

Visitor Information

The park welcomes visitors daily from 6AM to 10PM, giving you plenty of time to enjoy everything it has to offer. One thing to note - there are no restroom facilities on the grounds, so plan your visit accordingly.

The overall cleanliness and well-maintained equipment make Sunset Palms a favorite among Glendale families looking for outdoor recreation without having to venture far from home.
