Grayhawk Park

Park Overview

Tucked within the Grayhawk community of Scottsdale, Arizona, this 13-acre public park offers a refreshing escape from the desert heat. Grayhawk Park sits comfortably between Thompson Peak Parkway and Grayhawk Drive, providing a green oasis in this suburban landscape.

The City of Scottsdale maintains this space with obvious care - The well-kept grounds and variety of activities make it popular with locals.

Recent Improvements

Spring 2024 brought updates to the park, particularly to the playground areas. The little kids' playground now sports a fun collection of swings, slides, and a climbing structure. One thoughtful touch? The entire area is shaded by solar panels - great for those sunny Arizona days.

The rubber flooring has become an unexpected bonus spot for parents, with many spreading blankets for a comfortable place to relax while keeping an eye on the little ones. While designed specifically for children 2-5 years old, even the smallest adventurers can enjoy this space with a parent's helping hand.

Recreational Facilities

For the more sports-minded visitors, Grayhawk offers several options. The park features several lighted courts and fields that keep the fun going even after sunset. Just remember, most facilities work on a first-come basis, although some fields might require booking ahead.

You'll come across tennis courts, volleyball courts (often with friendly pick-up games you can join), basketball courts, and baseball fields scattered across the grounds. And if organized sports aren't your thing, there are plenty of open green spaces fantastic for frisbee, catch, or just lounging with a good book.

Walking Paths and Accessibility

A smooth, paved walking path circles the entire park, making it ideal for everything from morning jogs to afternoon stroller walks. It's particularly nice for families with young children just getting comfortable on bikes and scooters, or toddlers taking their first hikes.

Dog owners, take note - while not specifically designated as a dog park, your four-legged friends are welcome around the park as long as they're leashed.

Community Space

Grayhawk Park's layout works well for various activities, from sports to family outings.

Whether you're interested in a pickup basketball game, a family picnic, or just getting some fresh air, you'll find space to enjoy your preferred activity.

Visitor Information

A helpful tip before you visit: some GPS systems might mistakenly direct you to a nearby private Montessori school. The park is actually located in the field behind this school, so keep an eye out if your navigation seems confused.

The park welcomes visitors from 6:30 AM to 10:30 PM daily. You'll come across restrooms and drinking water available throughout your visit - essential amenities for those long summer days outside.
