Washington Park

Washington Park is a community space located in Mesa, Arizona, situated just north of downtown Mesa, in an area historically known as North Town. The park spans a one-square-mile radius in a location that holds significant cultural importance as it was once a segregated community.

The park offers a range of recreational facilities for visitors of all ages. It features open green spaces, providing ample room for various outdoor activities and relaxation. The park's layout includes traditional amenities commonly found in public parks, catering to diverse interests and age groups.

Washington Park is open from sunrise to sunset, allowing residents and visitors to enjoy its facilities throughout the day. The park's location makes it easily accessible to the surrounding community and serves as a central gathering point for local events and activities.

In recent years, Washington Park has gained recognition for its historical significance. An exhibition titled "The Matriarchs of Washington Park" was created to highlight the accomplishments of veterans of color from this once-segregated community, showcasing the park's role in local history and cultural preservation.
