Construction is underway for Ashler Hills Park, a new neighborhood park located 1.5 miles south of the Carefree town limits off the intersection of Ashler Hills Drive and Tom Darlington Road, behind Target and Office Max.
The project was approved in 2019 through a ballot initiative that asked voters to authorize 14 projects within Scottsdale city limits through the issuance of $112,600,000 of long-term bonds to be repaid by a property tax increase. The initiative was approved by 69% of Scottsdale voters.
Ashler Hills Park will feature walking trails including a ¼ mile desert loop, pet drinking fountains, a lighted basketball court, eight lighted pickleball courts, two open turf play areas, a covered pavilion with restrooms, and parking for 70 vehicles.
The development cost of the park is currently projected as $10,871,041, which is almost 80% over the original cost projection and does not include the acquisition cost of the property, which was purchased by the City of Scottsdale for $2,000,000 in 2002. Ongoing operational costs including maintenance are estimated by Scottsdale to be nearly $200,000 annually.
The park is currently projected to be completed near the end of this year. Here is a link to the overall site plan.
