Shoshone Park

Recreation Facilities

Located in a residential corner of Scottsdale, this 3-acre park fits a variety of activities into its modest footprint. The main feature of Shoshone Park is its newly renovated playground area, primarily designed with 5-12 year olds in mind. Kids can swing to their hearts' content on two big swings and one infant swing, scale the rock climbing wall, get dizzy on the spinning equipment, or zoom down the tall and short slides. There's also a cute make-believe market and various interactive elements that'll keep little hands busy spinning and exploring.

Got a basketball enthusiast in the family? The park's lighted basketball court lets them shoot hoops even as the desert sun sets. For those who prefer a more leisurely pace, a walking path meanders through the grounds - fantastic for a casual stroll or a brisk morning jog.

Amenities and Features

When Arizona's sunshine gets a bit too intense, you can seek refuge under the park's drop-in ramada, a shaded haven for impromptu picnics or small gatherings. The open grassy areas invite you to throw down a blanket, toss a frisbee, or simply relax with a good book.

Safety hasn't been overlooked, with the playground sporting a wood chip base to cushion any tumbles. Just a heads up though - there are no restroom facilities on-site, so plan accordingly before your visit.

Community Space

Shoshone Park functions as a neighborhood gathering spot where locals come to unwind, exercise, and connect. The space has a community feel, like an extension of the surrounding Scottsdale homes.

You'll often spot dog owners strolling the paths with their four-legged friends, particularly around the playground area. It's a place where neighbors often chat while their children play against the backdrop of Arizona's desert skies.
