Project Update
Ashler Hills Park opened in February 2025. Located at Ashler Hills Drive and 74th Way, it is Scottsdale’s northern most park.
Features of the 17-acre park include, open turf play areas, a shaded playground, restrooms, lighted sport courts for basketball and pickleball, walking paths and trails, and 70 lighted parking spaces.
Five public art panels are attached to shade canopies near the sports courts and were designed by Artist Mary Bates Neubauer. The naturally rusted steel panels will provide latticed patterns of light and shadow inspired by the Arizona cinquefoil, a shrubby native plant whose flowers have a five-leaf radial symmetry.
Funding for the park was approved by Scottsdale voters as part of the 2019 Bond election and the new park took 15 months to construct.
