Scottsdale’s growth plan relies on open space and parks
Scottsdale plans emphasize community parks and open spaces as central to urban recreation. The guide highlights playgrounds, tennis, pools, bike and equestrian paths, and the need to preserve flood channels like Indian Bend Wash to protect property during heavy rains. Retained open land serves as a future resource for schools and development.

Scottsdale Parks Drive Growth and Youthful Population Surge
Scottsdale experiences a young population boom driven by new families from out of state. Census data show a median age around 27.7 in 1980, with 25.6 in 1965, and higher income and education levels. The city plans a linked park system along Indian Bend Wash, including two major community parks, Chesnutt Park, Hall Park, and facilities at Coronado High, all funded by a 1.4 million bond. The project aims to flood control and recreation with a continuous recreational belt across the city.
