Tempe Town Lake
Tempe Town Lake is the second most visited location in Arizona behind the Grand Canyon welcoming more than two million visitors each year to enjoy the flurry of walking and biking paths along the shore in addition to institutions like Tempe Center for the Arts, Town Lake Marina, volleyball courts and numerous natural habitats and is well into its second decade. According to the City of Tempe, it has created more than $2 billion in annual economic activity supporting the numerous businesses along the lakefront. More than 40 special events take place at Tempe Town Lake including Iron Man Arizona and the Fantasy of Lights Boat Parade, building off the state of the art architectural design of Tempe Center for the Arts that draws inspiration.
“I think its connection to the Lake is really significant. I mean, that's part of the architecture and there's the Infinity pond there and look out and it's just a stunning view. I think it's one of the best views in the whole valley,” Ross added.
Known for its live music scene, Tempe is always welcoming artists whether it is indoors or outdoors. You’ll often see children running and playing on the jungle gym or at the community pool at Escalante Park on the eastern side of Apache. Wide open fields allow for games of soccer or football, and brightly colored murals adorn the basketball court where you can play pickup games of hoops with friends even when the sun goes down on the lighted court.
