We provide the community with vibrant public spaces, volunteer programs and event opportunities to connect and thrive in Downtown Phoenix.
Hance Park is home to a growing network of cultural, historic, dining, education, entertainment, and residential destinations — offering direct access to some of Downtown Phoenix’s most iconic landmarks.
Around the 32-acre park are numerous other cultural, historic, dining, education, entertainment, and residential amenities. Throughout the year, a wide variety of special events and activities occur. It is also a perfect place to take a walk, ride a bike, play at the playground, or take your dog to the off-leash dog park.
Amenities at the park include:
Covered picnic areas available for public use and private gatherings through the City of Phoenix reservation system.
A modern play space with animal sculptures and climbing features that inspire creativity and active play for all ages.
A fully fenced, secure off-leash area where local dogs can exercise, play, and socialize safely in the heart of the city.
Sand volleyball court available for public use and private gatherings through the City of Phoenix reservation system.
To reserve a ramada or volleyball court or to plan an event, contact the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department.
Whether you are planning a small community picnic, a corporate gathering, or a large-scale festival, Hance Park offers versatile outdoor spaces to accommodate your vision. We assist with general coordination, special permissions, and support to ensure your event runs smoothly.
Through our volunteer initiatives, we provide educational programs, park clean-up sessions, and community gardening opportunities. We help corporate teams, student groups, and individual residents actively participate in preserving and beautifying our 32-acre urban oasis.
