    *FOR THE PICKLEBALL COURTS ONLY*…read more This review is only for my experience as a spectator for a pickleball tournament. I saw the other reviews about difficult parking for the OTHER sports and I would agree, as I had to pass by that parking lot in order to get to the pickleball courts. It was packed. But if you're just there for a pickleball tournament it's not bad at all (I don't know what it's like when there is no tournament) I parked at the dirt lot directly across the courts. $8 day pass, just scan QR code of one of the signs they have on the walk to the courts. No issues getting in or out as it's further away from the other sports. There are SO MANY PICKLEBALL COURTS. There are also concession stands that sells food and drinks I think a Powerade was $4. It was well staffed and everyone was friendly and helpful. Not pictured, but there are also some courts with bleachers, and another colosseum style pickleball court. The food court/walkway in the main area is cool, but not a lot of food to choose from. There were other tournaments going on, so some food items were wiped out. There is a restaurant called Bristol's, a pizza/ice cream/soda shop, and Wetzel's Pretzels. Bristol's has a sit down area, and a walk up and order patio area, and a mini "convenience store." There is a microwave and coffee, tea, soda, and fridges with quick bites. I am curious as to what these pickleball courts are usually used for regularly (open play?) ! I had fun supporting my friends all day. Clean bathroom, amenities, and an amazing infrastructure.

    Came here for a basketball tournament. First off it was…read moreover $50 per person for 2 days which I understand is partly the hosts fault but with that cost you have some expectations for the facility. Parking is an additional $5-$8. Yes, they enforce it and yes you will get a ticket, and yes it can go to collections. Bathrooms are ok on cleanliness but they don't provide seat covers. The facility is hosting 1000s of people so that is pretty insane that they can't provide them. Our son's Sunday game was supposed to start at 8 and the lights did not fully go on till almost 8:10 delaying the start of the game which just ripples through the rest of the schedule. They also delayed letting parents into the facility which just caused a swarm of parents elbowing and pushing their way through when the doors opened. I am a small person and was being pushed in every direction trying to get in. I think The AAG has great potential but was disappointed in my experience here.

    Pulte Parkside is part of a master planned community. The other part of it is Sun City at Anthem,…read morewhich is a 55+ community. Both Pulte Parkside and Sun City have their own community centers respectively. Each community center includes pools, gyms, tennis courts, basketball courts and on and on. The Parkside community center has an indoor climbing rock wall and a separate outside swimming area for children, including a water volleyball court, and extensive waterpark style pool slides. There are multiple soccer fields, dog parks, softball fields, walking and biking trails, an elementary school within the community and even a small church. Frequent activities such as Wine and Dine events, Murder Mystery nights and pot lucks are held in the community center, and we often have Arts in the Park events and concerts. There is a full 18 course golf course with a golf clubhouse that serves food (which needs some work) and has a full bar. There are multiple home plans available, with prices running from the high 100's to the mid 200's. New neighborhoods are currently under construction and plenty of spec homes are available if you don't want to wait to have one built. I have lived here since 2016 and honestly I am surprised at how well the homes have maintained and even grown in resale value during that time. There is a bit of turnover, which I suspect is due to people buying out here and then deciding it's not for them. There are also few drawbacks to living out here. Namely, as I just mentioned, living out here. This place is about 20 miles from Mesa, and rush hour can be a pain. With all the growth up along Hunt highway and Ellsworth and up into Queen Creek I don't see the traffic situation improving anytime in the near future. The positives however include Cox high speed internet being available, as well as a nearby Safeway, McDonalds, Subway and a decent hospital within a 5 minute drive. So we are not entirely uncivilized. The main thing is that all of these amenities are just a sampling of what this place offers, and most importantly of all, the houses out here are well built and Pulte does an amazing job with them, but because they bought the land cheap years ago the houses are also cheap to buy. My house would have cost me about 100K more than I paid for it in Phoenix and it wouldn't have come with any of the surrounding amenities. I paid around 230K for a 2,500 square foot home, with four bedrooms, a three car garage and a ton of upgrades. You just won't get that in Phoenix. Fortunately the wife and I work from home, and we don't mind living out here. If you can swing it, this is the place for you. If you are a night life person who enjoys hanging out in Tempe with your friends on a Friday night than maybe not so much. For the first three weeks we lived out here the wife and I sat on the patio every night and every night she just said over and over, "I can't believe how quiet it is." It was 3 months before I heard my first siren. I used to live in Glendale, and I couldn't go three hours without hearing one there, so this is a huge difference and we couldn't be happier with our decision!

Sometimes people can even get help with their utility bills. The thing I like the best about the food bank is I get to pick my own food, and they give a lot of it.

    It finally dawned on me... My youngest son's baseball tournaments have been scheduled at a new…read morevariety of fields and complexes all over the valley. So, just like I reviewed all the Spring Training stadiums, I've slowly been adding all the amateur fields to the Yelp! archives too. The Red Mountain Softball (and baseball too) Complex is on the other side of the world from where I live. But just like Gene Autry which is nearby, I actually enjoy making the drive to visit these fields. I don't know how old it is, but the facilities and the park are very well maintained. There are smaller softball fields and larger baseball fields (with their turf infields) so this complex has something to offer everyone. Plus it's easily accessed off the 202 Loop. Oh, and the surrounding area is pretty nice. If you're familiar with the area, you'll understand where the name "Red Mountain" comes from. There is plenty of parking which is well dispersed and there are trees. Sounds weird, but not all trees in parking lots cast shade on the parking spaces. You can find a shady spot almost anywhere in this lot. I recall visiting these fields once before, a few years back. Now my son plays on the big fields. While I can't recall using the restrooms, I know the snack bar had some decent food and it was reasonable. All in all, these fields are as nice as Pioneer in the west valley, and similar to Gene Autry, just larger. And the sunset (see photos) at the end of the weekend was gorgeous! Nicely done Mesa. In terms of sports complexes, you're two for two! Which is better than some of my son's teammates at bat. Did I mention the sunset?

    These fields are great. The City of Mesa does an excellent job with overall upkeep and maintenance…read moreof the complex. Good location and a nice place to play ball!
