PLAY AT HANCE PARK On December 15, 2020, the “Fiesta Bowl PLAY at Hance Park” was unveiled. The 20,000-square-foot PLAY is the centerpiece of the opening phase of the Hance Park renovation and was made possible thanks to a $2 million legacy gift from the Fiesta Bowl and supporting partners: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, BHHS Legacy and AZSTA. PLAY features a climbing wall, a separate net climbing structure, a water mist play feature and a sand play area positioned under a shade canopy. Its other unique amenities include three animal-themed play structures. The animal play structures are made of 95 percent recycled plastic lumber and are GreenCircle Certified.
Celebrating the opening of this new amenity is a thrill, and I'm grateful for the commitment of the Fiesta Bowl and its partners to make it a reality, Having unique features like this one, make the park a destination for residents citywide and creates a neighborhood park for those who live nearby. A vibrant and active park will also help attract families and visitors to our growing downtown for years to come.

The city is grateful to the Fiesta Bowl and its partners for this significant commitment to the Hance Park Revitalization Project. Their legacy gift jump-started this important renovation of the park, which is crucial to the ongoing revitalization and growth of downtown. It's also exciting to celebrate this beautiful new playground for what it offers to families: a place for their kids to get outside, jump around and play during this otherwise difficult year. By masking and physically distancing, they can do it safely and have some fun!
