About

Vista Del Camino Park at 7700 E Roosevelt Street in South Scottsdale is a well-established community park and recreation center that has served the neighborhood for decades. With over 1,200 Google reviews at 4.6 stars, it's clearly a trusted local institution.

The park combines traditional outdoor park elements — playgrounds, sports fields, open grassy areas, and mature shade trees — with an adjacent community center that offers youth programming year-round. If you're a local family, the community center is worth investigating for after-school programs, swim lessons, and structured kids activities at city prices.

For visiting families, this is a solid free outdoor option in South Scottsdale, conveniently located between Tempe and central Scottsdale. The playground equipment is standard and well-maintained. Restrooms are accessible through the community center.

Seasonal guidance: South Scottsdale's summer heat makes midday outdoor play inadvisable. October through April are ideal months for full outdoor enjoyment. Summer visits should happen early — before 9 AM — to beat the heat and use any available shade.

The Roosevelt Street location is close to some of Scottsdale's more eclectic dining spots and the Tempe border, making it a natural stop on a broader South Scottsdale or Tempe day.
