Activity Overview
Cactus Park in Scottsdale is geared towards promoting fitness and wellness for the entire family. The 17.5-acre park has an aquatic and fitness center, basketball courts, a sand volleyball court, and an open turf. Smaller kids can also spend their playtime at the park's playground.
Things to Do
- Take the kids to the playground. The area is divided into two: a play space for older kids and another one for smaller kids. The kids can also play and run in the grassy area.
- Fill your picnic basket with food, choose a table, and have a picnic lunch with the family. Most tables are located under ramadas or shaded by trees so you don't need to worry about sitting under the sun.
