October 15, 2021 Mollie Coke

Scottsdale has more spas per capita than any other city in the U.S.—so whether you’re looking for the latest medi-spa technology or a new-agey, bohemian vibe, there’s sure to be something for you. It's a good thing, too—after spending all day touring the beautiful desert, you'll be grateful for some pampering.

McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park

Climb aboard the miniature replica of a Colorado narrow gauge railroad to explore this park that features famous railroad cars and an antique carousel.

Reviewed By jssplsn

This is a great way to spend a beautiful day in the Phoenix area if you have kids under the age of 5. There's a large playground and a model railroad for free, and for less than $20 you can buy enough tickets for a family of 4 to ride the carousel and the miniature train and visit the museum, which has real historical train cars to explore. There's tons of space for picnics and just running around, too.

Scottsdale Civic Center

Reviewed By earlr877 - Scottsdale, United States

We bought a condo within two blocks of Scottsdale's Civic Center Park. Oddly, at the time of purchase we were unaware of this gem of a park. It contains the Performing Arts Center, Contemporary Arts Museum, the amazing Civic Center Library, City Hall, several restaurants, a major local hotel, interesting fountains, and impressive public art. We enjoy major festivals there throughout the year. It is one of the most photographed areas of any city in Arizona. Just this morning, some visitors asked me to take their pictures in front of Robert Indiana's LOVE sculpture, a spot that so popular it's hard for the city to keep the grass alive in front of it. The Scottsdale Civic Center is an exceptional gem, far surpassing similar facilities in much larger cities.

Vista Del Camino Park

Reviewed By bpred754 - Phoenix, United States

I use to live right next to Vista Del Camino park and have been there several times. I would take my dog rollerblading through the park's paved paths. The paths are great for walking, running, and biking as well. The park also offers several other amenities such as a kid friendly splash pad, small dog park, Shelly Sharpe Disc Golf Course, and volleyball courts. The park is quite long, so I recommend using the Avem app to help find your favorite amenities.

Eldorado Park

Reviewed By bpred754 - Phoenix, United States

I used to live next to Eldorado Park and visited the park weekly with my German Shepherd. The park is full of amenities such as several playgrounds, fishing spots, baseball & softball fields, and even includes a skatepark. Eldorado Park also seamlessly merges into Vista Del Camino Park which gives you plenty of length for a nice run or bike ride. The park is fairly long, so I'd recommend using the app, Avem, to help you discover and find your favorite amenities.
