New children’s garden, ‘water and fog plaza’, more shade highlight Scottsdale Civic Center Plaza improvements
Renovations of the Scottsdale’s Civic Center Plaza include adding a new children’s garden, increasing the shade canopy of trees and replacing existing foundations.
Plans have been filed for improvements of the Civic Center Plaza and its events spaces in Old Town Scottsdale.
The improvements are funded by a Scottsdale bond program approved by voters in 2019.
The aim is to improve events and community spaces in the plaza and bring new amenities including a “water and fog plaza” and the children’s garden.
The landscape and site improvement scope of this project includes the area beginning at the intersection of Brown Avenue and Main Street all the way east to 75th Street.
This includes the green space north of the Performing Arts Building, the open space over the Drinkwater Bridge, and the green space between the Library and City Hall that features the current lagoons,” according to city plans.
Reduced water use is also one of the priorities for the renovations along with new stages, canopies and increased tree cover.
