Northsight Park

Recreation for Everyone

Located in Scottsdale, Arizona, Northsight Park spans 19 acres of public green space that functions as a neighborhood retreat from the desert heat. This laid-back park offers various amenities for outdoor recreation.

With its sprawling green spaces, the park creates a peaceful backdrop for family gatherings or solo chill time. The playgrounds are a hit with the little ones, featuring slides, climbing structures, and swings that'll keep them entertained for hours. Unlike many modern playgrounds, these play areas use wood chips as ground cover instead of rubber - a touch that some parents actually prefer for its natural feel.

Get Your Game On

For those feeling athletic, Northsight provides several lighted facilities for evening play. Shoot some hoops at the basketball court, serve it up at one of the two tennis courts, or dig in at the two sand volleyball courts.

The park has organically become a community hub for various activities - there's even a Monday night sober volleyball gathering from 8-10 PM if you're looking to connect with others. Just a heads up for tennis players: you might notice some cracks on the courts that could use some TLC.

Picnic Perfect

Scattered within the grounds are picnic areas where you can refuel or simply enjoy a meal under the Arizona sky. Need some shade? The drop-in ramadas have your back, while picnic tables and charcoal grills make it easy to turn your outing into a proper cookout.

You'll come across clean restrooms and water fountains around the park - always a plus when spending the day outdoors. The walking and biking paths that meander through the grounds offer a nice way to get some steps in or take a leisurely ride.

Natural Touches

If you're into bird watching, you'll appreciate the variety of feathered friends that call this park home - their songs add a pleasant soundtrack to your visit. An unexpected bonus is the park's proximity to Scottsdale Airport, which occasionally treats visitors to views of small planes and biplanes soaring overhead.

Dog owners will be happy to know the park is dog-friendly, with open spaces where your four-legged companions can stretch their legs. One of the nicest things about Northsight is that it rarely feels overcrowded, maintaining that peaceful vibe that makes it a favorite among locals.

The park welcomes visitors daily from 5AM to 10:30PM.
