Arizona Athletic Grounds

Fantastic facility. Many different sports are available here. We were here for ODP soccer and the fields are very well laid out. Food and drink are available on site, including alcohol. Public WiFi is hit or miss, depending on where you are. Parking is decent when entering, but is a nightmare to leave. There aren't enough traffic lanes to support hundreds of families leaving at the same time.

Came for the MLS Next Fest tournament. The complex is amazing. 24 soccer fields, each one has their scoreboard and timer. We were not charged for parking nor entrance. Very organized. Lots of security personnel. Physio tent on every field. My only but is that there’s only one field with bleachers.

Very large area of a variety of athletic fields for different sports: soccer, baseball, softball, and la cross. Several restaurants conveniently located in the central part of the complex. Plenty of parking, but you have to purchase a parking pass as well as an entry pass for each day you are there.

I will first say this is the largest, cleanest and all accommodating sports of all sorts venue that I have ever seen. That’s the good news. The rest might be downhill from there. We made the trip from Utah to watch our granddaughter play in a traveling league at the complex. I wouldn’t call it a tournament because all four games had an impact on the season. Keep in mind, all of the games being played are amateur. When we got to the park we were told it was $8.00 a day to park and tickets for three days of games and for five of us was over $140. What??!!! Suffice it to say, the money is being used to keep the park afloat. My understanding is the Mesa voters chose not to approve a sports complex of this size. Smart move on their part as after two bankruptcies the current owner is trying to get back in the red. So, charge for parking and after driving or flying cross country who’s going to refuse. I’m just the grandparent but I’m certain the team/girls/parents pay a pretty penny to play at a place like this. Locally in Utah our girls play at a town park or nearby school. I’m certain there are plenty of similar locations in Arizona. Probably my biggest complaint, and I’m not certain who’s to blame; one of the girls had a head on collision with a girl on the other team. The girl that went down hard complained of her neck hurting and she felt a pop. This league is so strict they don’t even allow a parent to enter the field until given authorization from a league official. After 20 minutes I was ready to take a blanket and umbrella out to her. They finally allowed dad to come out and four paramedics soon followed. But where was the ambulance or medical vehicle? It was over an hour before an ambulance showed up! Blame the complex or blame Mesa City but that was totally unacceptable! Heaven forbid if it was someone (maybe an old fart like me) having a heart attack; they’d be dead by the time the ambulance showed up. Last comment: the park is beautiful and the entrance and parking fee is probably worth just experiencing this place. Heaven knows I’ve paid a lot more than that to golf down here. Oh, but if you want to sit down at the game you’ll need to run to Walmart (conveniently located in Queen Creek, just down the road) and buy a $10 chair. We left ours at the park. They’ll probably rent those, too. Enjoy!

Nice sports complex, we visited baseball ⚾️ fields, and fields are 100% turf, very well preserved, and staff is professional. Gate fee is $10 per person. Heat 🥵 🔥 ☀️ sensation is really hot here for the players, and benches have some shade areas, but bring lot of water and maintain your player hydrated the whole time. Food trucks inside and mobile restrooms 🚻 around the fields. Enjoy your visit and create memories.
