PHOENIX — A 40-acre community park in Avondale is opening Saturday.
Alamar Park is located at 4155 S. El Mirage Road between Lower Buckeye Road and Southern Avenue.
It’ll offer a range of amenities, including baseball and softball fields, tennis, four pickleball courts, three playgrounds, a lake, a splash pad, an amphitheater, a dog park and picnic ramadas, city officials said in a press release.
There will also be an outdoor gym.
Construction on the nearly $18 million project began in February 2021.
“Quality of life has always been a top priority for residents of Avondale, and that means places to recreate, gather and be active,” Avondale Mayor Kenn Weise said in the release.
