Scottsdale Ranch Park & Tennis Center

One of the best parks in Scottsdale. Seriously the amount of joy that having GOOD parks with adequate shade, seating and activities gives to individuals, families and most importantly, kids, there should be one of these in every neighborhood. The only thing that could be so much better which is lacking in almost all parks is having shaded seating around the children's playground. Most families sit in the full glare of the sun, often on the ground, on fences or anything they can. It's uncomfortable and does not promote social interaction and no one wants to be under the direct sun for too long.

I have only played beach volleyball here in a league for a couple years. They have six well maintained sand courts wth lights and sprinklers. They also have basketball courts, baseball/softball fields, a childrens play area, and restrooms.

My wife’s team played the USTA nationals here. Great Park. The courts are nice, but there are not really any food or drink options here.

My review of Scottsdale Ranch park. It is a totally amazing park with large mature shady trees to shade the many walk ways around the serenity of Desert Oak and Pine trees with plenty of picnic benches and extra large grills to accomodate lage gatherings. You will love how clean this park is. I think it has the best sand volleyball courts in the entire phoenix Valley. There is parking very close to the playground but the parking lot there is very well used and is very worn with pot holes. I loved that there was a pedestrian bridge that goes over the street for easy access to the outdoor mall across the street. There is a Planet Fitness there, so if you are a member, you can grab a massage on their massage chairs after your park day. There is also a preschool if you want to check you child in and also a dance studio that has a beautiful view out thier widows of the mountains there. A the park, there is an exercise stretching station that I really enjoyed. There were a lot of flowering desert friendly plants that gave beauty to the enjoyment of this park. The children's playground has wood chips. The play equipment is new and amazing. You can rock climb, spin, slide, swing and tunnel. The water fountain works. The your one for your water bottle, peope and one for your 4 legged child too. I'd say this was a Dog friendly Park. Plenty of dogdy clean up station and trash cans. Thle bathrooms were clean and modern. This park is perfect for large groups. There is a tennis center on the west most end of this park, that I believe is the largest in the Phoenix valley as well.

Scottsdale Ranch is not only beautiful but very safe. It has all the amenities you would get in an expensive club for just a yearly homeowner membership. Enjoy playing or watching team sports of every kind plus tennis, sand volleyball, fitness trail, basketball, and wonderful safe play grounds for young ones. Relax in the cool shade while enjoying lovely views of small lakes and beautiful vegetation. Spacious covered picnic area with grills. We would move here for this park alone
