AZ Central Profile of Mayor Joe Pizzillo
June 2021
In July of 2021, the long-awaited Recreation Campus opened. The City Council waited until a time that we could build it right and finance it without any increase in taxes. The $52M facility is breathtaking in its design and function. Thanks to our great Parks and Recreation staff who took the time to seek the public’s input on desired amenities and potential uses of the campus, it will be a community asset that we will enjoy for decades. The City is currently in the process of working on the second phase of the recreation campus expansion.
