Aripine Park

A Green Oasis in Mesa

Tucked away in Mesa, Arizona, Aripine Park offers a simple but charming escape from the urban hustle. This mostly flat green space is well-suited for those casual dog walks, impromptu games of fetch, or some quality ball time with the kids. While you'll discover some shade trees scattered throughout, just know that on those scorching Arizona days, the coverage can be a bit sparse. Seating options are similarly limited, so you might want to bring a blanket if you're planning to stay awhile.

Exciting Changes on the Horizon

If you've visited recently and thought, "this place has potential," you're not alone! The city has big plans for Aripine, with a major renovation set to transform this space between Summer and Winter 2025.

This upgrade, officially dubbed the Aripine Playground Project (CP1182CAP), is bringing welcome improvements to this neighborhood favorite. The project combines funding from Mesa's Operating Budget and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Public Facilities funds to breathe new life into the park.

What to Look Forward To

Once the dust settles on the renovation, Aripine Park will boast fresh play equipment designed with kids of all ages in mind. One of the most thoughtful aspects of the redesign is its focus on inclusivity, particularly through ADA accessibility features and appropriate playground surfacing that makes the park welcoming for everyone.
