Rotary Park

A Bit of History

Nestled just north of the Superstition Freeway in Tempe, Arizona, Rotary Park spans a cozy 5 acres that have been serving the community since 1973. The Tempe East Rotary Club played a key role in bringing this green space to life, and it's been a neighborhood staple ever since.

The park got a significant facelift in 2007, with renovations that breathed new life into its facilities while preserving its community-centered charm.

What You'll Find There

Rotary Park offers something for everyone in its thoughtfully designed space. Kids will make a beeline for the playground area, which received a recent upgrade with accessibility improvements and new features that the community helped select.

Arizona summers can be brutal, but the park's renovated shade structures provide welcome relief from the sun. They provide welcome relief from the sun while you watch the little ones play.

If you're looking to shoot some hoops, the basketball courts with lighting let you extend your game well into the evening. The grills in the picnic area make this a good spot for a weekend cookout.
