Celebrate the history of the Indian Bend Wash with free community events throughout May

The Indian Bend Wash flood control project transformed a serious flooding hazard into a world-renowned network of parks, lakes, paths and golf courses traversing through the heart of Scottsdale. In 1985, Scottsdale officially dedicated the $54 million project, nearly 20 years after the first park in the Indian Bend Wash was built. 

Spanning 11 miles in the heart of Scottsdale, the Indian Bend Wash Greenbelt features more than 24 grade-separated crossings. This project is rated among the top urban “green spaces” in Arizona.
