Help shape the future of Tempe Town Lake's north bank

The City of Tempe is seeking input as we design the park space along the north bank of Tempe Town Lake, approximately between the Elmore Bridge and the Marina.

This design planning effort will explore how recreation, entertainment and athletic spaces can enhance the lake experience while balancing everyday park use with special events and recreation programming. Your input will help guide how these public spaces look, feel and function for years to come.

Join us for an open house:

Tuesday, March 24
5-7 p.m. (Brief presentation at 5:30 p.m.)
Tempe Center for the Arts - Lakeside Room
700 W. Rio Salado Parkway
Parking is available in the garage directly west of the venue. Please bring your parking ticket inside to be validated.

Online survey:

Beginning March 24, view an on-demand information session and share feedback through April 12 at tempe.gov/forum.

The planning process will result in concept designs that incorporate innovative park planning trends, public art opportunities and a parking needs assessment. The project will also identify potential construction costs, phasing strategies and funding opportunities.

Additional community input opportunities will be available later this spring and summer as the design process continues.

This design planning project is one of the next steps for the Rio Salado and Beach Park Master Plan, adopted by Tempe City Council in 2018, which outlines a long-term vision for the area over the next 20-30 years. Recent related initiatives include a public-private partnership with Tempe Boat Cruisin' for additional on-water amenities.

Your voice matters. We hope you'll join us in shaping the next chapter of this beloved community destination.
