Chaparral Park’s lake, inclusive playground and dog park sit on Hayden

Chaparral Park, at 5401 N. Hayden Road in the McCormick Ranch area, is a city park with a lake, playgrounds, sports fields and what the city calls Scottsdale’s most popular dog park. Park hours are sunrise to 10:30 p.m., according to the official park page.
The dog park covers three acres of grass with benches, play features and water fountains, the city says. It closes for maintenance from 8 a.m. to noon on Tuesdays and Fridays. The playground is described as inclusive, with features such as a Sensory Wave Climber designed for a wider range of users.
Ramadas and other reservable spaces can be booked through the city’s facility reservation system or by calling the Facility Booking Office at 480-312-7707, the park page says. Chaparral Aquatic Center is listed among the city’s aquatics sites for anyone looking for a pool next to the park.
