QUEEN CREEK, AZ — The town of Queen Creek is ready to open their newest park this June- say hello to ‘Frontier Family Park!’
“It's the town's newest park at 85 acres. We have a lot of different play amenities going in… your typical baseball, softball fields, soccer, football fields, lots of pickleball courts, a real fun and exciting inclusive playground, basketball courts, volleyball courts, fishing lake, just all of the things in one place,” said Adam Robinson, Interim Director of Parks and Recreation, to ABC15.
All the fields and courts at the park will be available starting June 8.
“As we look to provide the number and type of amenities that our residents want, we just figured it was the time to get it all open now. So, we can get kind of caught up on just the needs for the community to play,” said Robinson.
The new park will open to the town on June 8. Here’s a breakdown of what will be available at the park:
- Six full-size baseball/softball fields.
- Three multi-purpose fields
- 24 pickleball courts
- Two basketball courts
- Two sand volleyball courts
- A large playground
- A fishing lake; the park will require a fishing license for anyone 10 years old and over.
- A walking track around the entire park. “[This is] another feature we were excited about, as it's just over a mile and a half if you take the track all the way around,” said Robinson.
- A Recreation / Aquatic Center at Frontier Family Park is currently under construction.
