The City of Apache Junction is excited to announce the opening of our newest park facility, and first event space in the downtown area: Flatiron Community Park.

One of the components of the Downtown Revitalization Implementation Strategy (DRIS) was creating a public space in the downtown area to attract visitors and residents to the hub of local businesses.  Thanks to a land exchange, and development fee money that was already identified for small future park projects, and the help of grants and sponsorships, this vision became a reality.

After multiple public meetings to generate ideas for the park, The Parks and Recreation Commission and Mayor and Council approved a master plan that included an open space for downtown events and several potential amenities in a phased approach.  This initial phase included a splashpad and restrooms thanks to the generosity of our partners.  Additional ramadas and sidewalks are part of future phases.

“Flatiron Park is set in the middle of town, With a nice grass space with some ramadas. You will find several of the City’s signature events as well community events. Almost every month there is a free movie or concert in the park. There is small splash pad and Think Water area. There is a short trail on the north end of the park. Leashed dogs are welcomed.
