Eldorado Park Playground North

Eldorado Park Playground North at 2030 N 77th Street is the northern playground section of the larger Eldorado Park complex in South Scottsdale. While the main Eldorado Park entry point is on Miller Road, this north playground gives families an alternative entry point and a somewhat less crowded play area.

With a 4.8-star rating (admittedly from a smaller sample of 37 reviews), it's consistently appreciated by the families who use it. The playground equipment is appropriate for toddlers through about age 10 — the same Scottsdale Parks & Recreation standard that keeps city playground equipment well-maintained.

The real advantage of this playground is its connection to the full Eldorado Park complex: the fishing lake, seasonal splash pad, aquatic center, and picnic areas are all part of the same park system. Using the north playground entrance can mean less walking to access the play area, depending on where you park.

For families visiting South Scottsdale: combine this playground with the Eldorado Park splash pad (seasonal, May–September) and the aquatic center for a full free-or-low-cost family day that covers multiple age groups.
