Gilbert Unveils Concept Plans for the Next Phase of Desert Sky Park

Gilbert, Ariz. - Gilbert is excited to share the new concept plans for the next phase of Desert Sky Park, showcasing an expanded vision for one of the community's most popular destinations.

The new concept plans highlight a variety of amenities designed to provide residents of all abilities with more opportunities to play, connect, and stay active.

Concept plans represent preliminary designs and may be adjusted before final construction.

The proposed amenities for Desert Sky Park Phase II include:

• Five Multi-Use Fields
• A Splash Pad with Inclusive Play Features
• Two Playgrounds, One with Inclusive Play Features
• Eight Pickleball Courts with a Shade Pavilion
• Two Sand Volleyball Courts with a Shade Canopy
• Tennis Court
• Basketball Court
• Dog Run
• Two Restroom Facilities
• Two New Entry Points and Expanded Parking

Inclusive features are a central part of the new playgrounds and splash pad, designed to remove barriers and create shared play experiences for children of all abilities, supporting physical, sensory, and social development in a welcoming a welcoming environment.

"Desert Sky Park has always been a place where our community comes together, and this next phase is a reflection of how much we've grown and listened," said Gilbert Parks and Recreation Parks Manager, Kylie Sorensen. "Through the community engagement process, we heard from residents about the amenities that matter most to them. That input helped shape these plans, including the addition of sport courts, which weren't part of the original vision. We're building something that truly belongs to everyone, and I couldn't be more excited to see this next chapter come to life."

Gilbert Parks and Recreation anticipates breaking ground on Phase II later this year, marking the next milestone in the park's continued growth and development.

Desert Sky Park is located at 6624 S Power Rd. and currently features a lake, ninja warrior course, four multi-use fields, ramadas, and restrooms.
