Mescal Park

Park Overview

Tucked away in Scottsdale, Arizona, Mescal Park spans 10 acres of welcoming green space that's become a local favorite. This nearby park offers something for everyone - from dog walkers to horse enthusiasts and families looking for outdoor time.

With generous hours from 6AM to 10:30PM, you can enjoy the park whether you're an early bird or prefer evening strolls under the stars. What makes Mescal special is how it manages to blend various outdoor activities into one versatile space without feeling cramped or overcrowded.

Equestrian Facilities

Horse lovers, take note! The lighted equestrian arena is perhaps the park's standout feature, making it a go-to spot for riders even after sunset. Beyond the arena, there's a generous turf area where horses are welcome to roam, providing plenty of space for equestrian activities. It's rather unique to find such dedicated horse-friendly spaces in an urban park setting.

Recreation Opportunities

Not into horses? No problem. The park's half-mile trail offers an excellent loop for a quick morning jog or a leisurely afternoon walk. The path accommodates hikers, horseback riders, and dog walkers alike, making it a shared space where the community comes together. It's just long enough to get some exercise without being overwhelming.

Dog-Friendly Features

Four-legged friends are practically part of the regular crowd here. The park has become something of a canine social hub, with neighborhood residents bringing their dogs for daily outings. You'll come across trash cans with dog waste bags strategically placed along the trail - a thoughtful touch that helps keep the park clean. While there's no designated off-leash area, the open spaces provide plenty of room to walk your pup on leash and perhaps meet some new furry friends along the way.
