Washington Park

A Glimpse into History

Tucked just north of downtown Mesa lies Washington Park, nestled in what locals historically called North Town. Spanning a one-square-mile area, this isn't just any green space - it stands on ground that tells an important story of our community's past as a once-segregated neighborhood.

In recent years, the park has stepped into the spotlight for its historical significance. The powerful exhibition "The Matriarchs of Washington Park" celebrates the achievements of veterans of color who called this community home, offering a meaningful window into both local history and cultural heritage.

What You'll Find Here

If you're looking to stretch your legs or simply find a peaceful spot to unwind, Washington Park delivers with its welcoming open green spaces. There's plenty of room to toss a frisbee, have a picnic, or just soak up some Arizona sunshine.

The park keeps things classic with traditional amenities you'd expect in a neighborhood park - nothing fancy, but everything you need for a pleasant outdoor experience no matter your age or interests.

Community Central

More than just a park, this space acts as the heart of community connection in the area. Its convenient location makes it an easy gathering spot for locals and visitors alike.

You can enjoy Washington Park daily from 6AM to 10PM, giving you plenty of time to make the most of this historic community treasure, whether you're an early bird or prefer evening strolls.
