Queen Creek’s newest community amenity, Mansel Carter Oasis Park, opened on Sept. 1 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening festivities.
The 48-acre park, 19535 E. Appleby Road, includes a variety of features that enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors in Queen Creek.
“Our parks provide a gathering space for our community to interact with their kids, get to know their neighbors and stay active,” Queen Creek Mayor Gail Barney said at the ribbon cutting ceremony.
“Our fantastic parks and trails are directly related to the quality of life we enjoy here in Queen Creek. I’m particularly excited about the playground – a generous, $130,000 donation from Banner Ironwood Medical Center covered the cost of rubberized surfacing, making our inclusive playground equipment. As a father and grandfather, I can share how important it is for our youth of all abilities to play with one another,” he said.
