Gilbert Regional Park

It first had to purchase the land before Gilbert could begin drafting plans for its largest park to date.

The town entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement in May 2015 with the Maricopa County Flood Control District for a recreation easement on 225 acres within the Chandler Heights Basin Area. It gave birth to the Gilbert Regional Park Master Design Plan, together with the 47 acres already owned by Gilbert.

Three years later, Gilbert broke ground on Gilbert Regional Park and opened the very first facilities of the park in September of 2019.

On a first-come, first-served basis, Gilbert Regional Park's sports courts are all open.

Post-tension concrete courts with strengthened rims and backboard as well as sports surfacing and striping. High efficiency, low-energy-use LED lighting. The courts also feature designated areas for seating.

Until court capacity is reached, the pickleball courts are open for first-come, first-served use. Court rotation must be followed when court capacity is reached. You can find additional laws, regulations, and rotation data here.

The amphitheater is an entertainment space and performance plaza anchored by an architectural symbol of 360 degrees and features views of the lake and San Tan Mountains of the Gilbert Regional Park.

For families close and far, the playground at Gilbert Regional Park is a destination. The focus of this sprawling play space with numerous slides and climbers strategically installed into the existing hillside is a custom tower playstructure that mimics the mountainous backdrop. At the top of the play area, the Double ZipKrooz ® and playground swings are also included, while a play area for toddlers and preschoolers is below. With more hillside slides and climbers, tunnels constructed below hills and more age-appropriate obstacles, the play area for younger children often uses the topography. In addition, to help shield visitors from the heat of the Arizona sun, SkyWays® shade structures are installed throughout the playground design.
