Candlelight Park

Park Features

Located in a residential neighborhood, Candlelight Park is that perfect little green escape when you need some fresh air. Regardless of whether you're a local or just passing through, this cozy outdoor space has a bit of something for everyone.

The park has plenty of open grassy areas where you can toss a frisbee, set up a picnic, or just sprawl out with a good book. One of our favorite features is the walking path that loops around the entire park - well-suited for getting in some steps while keeping an eye on the kiddos at play.

Playground Area

If you've got little ones in tow, you're in luck. The park houses two playground structures that cater to different age groups. There's a smaller setup specifically designed for toddlers (hallelujah for parents of tiny humans), while the bigger kids can enjoy the more advanced structure. The larger playground comes complete with a fun bridge and a twisty spiral slide that seems to be a hit with the elementary school crowd.

You'll also find a water fountain near the play area - a thoughtful touch for those hot Arizona days when everyone needs to stay hydrated.

Sports and Recreation

Feeling a bit more active? The sand volleyball courts provide a great spot for casual games with friends or family. Just note they aren't lit up at night, so plan your volleyball adventures during daylight hours.

If volleyball isn't your thing, there's also a basketball court where you can shoot some hoops and a horseshoe pit for those who prefer a more leisurely pace of competition.

Amenities

When it's time to refuel or just relax, you'll come across shaded areas and picnic tables dotted throughout the park. These spots make for perfect little outdoor dining rooms, whether you're having a family meal or catching up with friends over lunch.

If you're in the mood to grill, the park offers BBQ grills for public use. There's something undeniably satisfying about cooking outdoors, isn't there?

You'll also find a ramada and another area with a picnic bench for gatherings. Just remember these aren't reservable - it's first-come, first-served, so you might want to arrive early on busy weekends.

Community Space

What makes Candlelight Park work so well is its balance. There's enough space for active play, but also plenty of quiet corners for when you just want to sit and watch the clouds go by. The park is generally kept clean and well-maintained, adding to its neighborhood charm.

One thing to note: as a smaller neighborhood park, there are no public restrooms available here, so plan accordingly before your visit.
