Alta Mesa Park
About Alta Mesa Park
Your Neighborhood Escape
Positioned in Mesa, Alta Mesa Park spreads across 8.6 acres, offering a peaceful retreat from the daily hustle. It's the kind of place where you can catch your breath among patches of green while still being minutes from home.
With its well-kept paths and vibrant landscaping, the park creates an ideal backdrop for your morning jog, afternoon walk, or simply finding a quiet spot to unwind. The clean grounds and tranquil atmosphere have made this spot a favorite among locals looking to get their steps in, connect with nature, or take their four-legged friends for a stroll.
Get Your Game On
If you're feeling active, Alta Mesa offers several options. The park features lighted basketball and beach volleyball courts that remain available even after sunset.
Got kids with energy to burn? Three separate playground areas cater to children of all ages, featuring slides, swings, bridges, and a tire swing that seems to be everyone's favorite. You'll appreciate that the sand areas are regularly maintained and raked, keeping them clean and safe for little ones to play.
Chill Spots and Gathering Spaces
Need a place for some downtime or social gatherings? The park offers comfortable picnic areas including two shaded picnic ramadas available on a first-come basis.
Planning a birthday celebration or family get-together? The larger ramada with its four tables might be just what you need. For something more intimate, there's a smaller option as well. Both areas come equipped with grills for cookouts, making it easy to flip some burgers while the kids play nearby.
More Ways to Play
Beyond the basics, Alta Mesa Park offers a few extra options to keep you entertained. Fancy a game of horseshoes? There's a horseshoe pit waiting for you (just remember to bring your own horseshoes).
The open grassy fields provide plenty of space for impromptu games of frisbee, catch, or letting your dog burn off some energy. If you prefer a more structured workout, follow the walking trails that meander through the park for a pleasant way to get your steps in.
Good to Know
Getting to Alta Mesa is straightforward with an on-site parking lot that offers plenty of spaces.
The park welcomes visitors daily from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM. Note that there are no restroom facilities available, so plan accordingly.
Dog lovers will be happy to know the park is pet-friendly, but your furry friends need to stay leashed. The open areas are great for dog walking, but be aware that sticker burrs occasionally pop up in some grassy sections - something to watch for if you've got a long-haired pup.
