Gilbert officials, park leaders and residents gathered Thursday morning to break ground on phase II of Desert Sky Park, a major expansion aimed at adding athletic fields and inclusive recreational amenities in the town’s southern area.
Mayor Scott Anderson said the project reflects long-awaited investment in south Gilbert and a broader effort to ensure the town’s park system serves all residents.
“The residents that live down here have waited for such a long time to have these facilities,” Anderson said. “These are unique facilities so that we can make our park system available to everyone and that’s what we’re emphasizing.”
