Eastmark Great Park

Eastmark Great Park is a sprawling 96-acre public park located in Mesa, Arizona. The park serves as a central gathering place for the Eastmark community and offers a wide range of recreational facilities for visitors of all ages.

The park's most distinctive feature is the "Orange Monster" playground, a unique climbing structure designed with input from children. This playground provides a challenging and exciting play experience with its twisting network of ropes and nets. Adjacent to the Orange Monster is another playground area that caters to younger children, featuring more traditional equipment such as swings, slides, and a sand pit with a digger.

Eastmark Great Park also boasts extensive green spaces, including grass fields suitable for picnics and informal sports. A network of walking paths winds through the park, connecting various amenities and providing opportunities for leisurely strolls or more vigorous exercise.

Water features are prominent in the park, with a splashpad offering relief from the Arizona heat and a lake that serves as a focal point for relaxation and wildlife viewing. The park is also home to Steadfast Farm, a commercial urban farm that grows produce for local residents and restaurants, adding an educational and sustainable element to the park's offerings.

For sports enthusiasts, the park includes baseball fields and various courts. A skate park called "The Deck" and a disc golf course known as "The Disco" provide additional recreational options. Dog owners can enjoy a dedicated off-leash area for their pets.

The park incorporates shaded areas and seating throughout, making it comfortable for visitors even during warmer months. The Handlebar Diner, a retro-style eatery located within the park, offers food and refreshments, adding to the park's appeal as a destination for extended visits.
