Founders' Park Playground — Attraction in Queen Creek

This is the perfect place to take your littles when the weather is nice. Here are some of its amazing features: splash pad (with shade, tables, seating), community rec center (lots of programs--that's all I know), fenced-in skate park (seriously--my 4yo now wants to learn how to skate), huge grassy field with soccer/futbol goals, awesome playground with awning, adjacent ramada & tables, fenced-in tennis courts, etc. etc. etc.

This is easily the best public park in Queen Creek. It is near the town offices, and everything is kept clean, tidy, and welcoming. As parents/guardians came and went, my daughter and I made countless "new friends," helped watch out for those around us, and received the same benefit in return. (My turkey girl ran off when I wasn't watching but fortunately the Dad she ran to knew exactly who she belonged to and brought her back to safety immediately.) Truly, I have never felt so connected to a community so quickly. It was like having an instant village to help me raise my child. 💛💛💛💛

ON SAFETY: The town is smart about this. The tallest slide was all wrapped-up and blocked off with orange plastic safety fence. I don't know what the situation was, but there was 0% chance a little would wind up on that slide and get hurt, sick, etc. Before someone could stop them. 🦺🦺🦺🦺🦺

STILL HAVE ?s

Please ask, and I or someone else will eventually answer them.

IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE PICTURES added to this post! I didn't take any this trip, but I can in the future.

Lisa M. Hamel Philanthropist at Large Got a problem? Yo, I'll solve it. Ask me...

The playground is very small. At the front, there are two regular and two toddler swings that are not shaded. The rest of the area is shaded and it's the typical no-frills play elements. There were monkey bars, bridges, and slides. The taller slide was broken and they had some orange netting over it. I also saw another broken play element; the spinning wheel element that kids can spin was not attached very securely. Seems just very rundown and too small of a play area. Also... the playground is way too busy too. Not worth...

One of our go-to parks when we are in the area. It has a spacious playground, large field, skatepark area, picnic benches with roof/gazebo, and tennis or basketball courts, haven’t paid much attention to that since we normally just go to the park’s playground. The bathrooms are decently clean and the splash pad is fun & spacious when it opens during summer time. Parking lot is big and park is easily accessible from main road. Located just a few blocks or about 5 minutes from QC...
