Be sure to give the installation of a quick call before going to the pool to swim around like the local high school swim teams, diving teams and swim teams synchronized to use the pool for practice and competition.
For kids (and kids at heart), the aquatic center includes a pool entertainment with the beach as zero depth entry and spray pad, 600 meters lazy river and slide the first tube of the city. There are also several areas grass with abundant shade and a party island, sitting on the lazy river.
Scottsdale Health and the City of Scottsdale Parks and Recreation have united to offer a first class fitness center. The facility includes free weights, cardiovascular machines, machine weights and a variety of fitness, nutrition and wellness classes.

Kids love the 6 rails, 7 ledges, 9 of the ladder and the fact that the pool is right next door. Installation is fenced, lighted, and better yet, free! All skateboarders and inline skaters are welcome, but BMX bikes are not allowed due to concerns security.
There is also found in the park are 4 soccer fields, and 2 playgrounds. Some fields are lighted, and public baths are available.
