Tempe signs letter in support of Shady Park

By Briana Whitney | 3TV/CBS 5

The saga of Shady Park versus Mirabella in Tempe continues, this time with the Tempe City Council coming forward in support of Shady Park.

Shady Park is the longtime live music venue on Mill Avenue, and Mirabella at ASU is the new retirement community built across the street. Mirabella filed a lawsuit against the music venue, claiming they were a public nuisance. Due to a recent court ruling, Shady Park said they will not be able to have live performances anymore.

For the first time, the Tempe city council members shared their opinion in support of Shady Park by unanimously signing a letter.

The feud began when Mirabella residents moved in during 2020 while live concerts weren’t happening at Shady Park due to the pandemic. When concerts came back, Mirabella residents complained of noise and eventually filed a lawsuit against Shady Park back in November.
