Scottsdale Rotary Park honors its club presidents
Posted
By Dr. Honora Norton
Members of Rotary Club of Scottsdale recently added paver bricks at Scottsdale’s Rotary Park to honor past club presidents.
The Rotary Club of Scottsdale, founded in 1954, is proud of its past club presidents as well as its support for youth in our area, community and international service projects, Scottsdale’s and Papago Rotary Parks, and for the quality of its weekly luncheon speakers/programs.
The Rotary Club of Scottsdale extends an invitation to you to join its members in saying thank you to someone you admire, has inspired you, you want to memorialize or has gone above and beyond during this Pandemic.
Consider purchasing a brick with a message (one or two lines of 15 characters). The bricks are $100 each and if you purchase five bricks, the sixth is free. All monies are directed to the club’s foundation and directed towards club community service/international projects and/or scholarships.
See : scottsdalerotary.org homepage for details on how to order bricks.
Scottsdale Rotary Park is an eight acre oasis in the heart of Gainey Ranch. The park was built by members of the Rotary Club of Scottsdale and then donated to the City of Scottsdale.
The park features lighted walking paths, a children’s playground, a greenbelt, picnic ramadas, a restroom facility, butterfly garden area and the world’s first plaza designed in the shape of the Rotary symbol.
In 2002 the Rotary Club of Scottsdale added Unity Plaza and the Spirit of Unity Flagpole to Rotary Park. These were a Rotary International Centennial Project in commemoration of RI’s 100th Anniversary in 2005.
Today, the Scottsdale Rotary Foundation continues to offer naming opportunities—paver bricks, flags, tree plantings, playground play equipment—at Unity Plaza.
Rotary Plaza is at 7959 E. Doubletree Ranch Road in Scottsdale. This is approximately one mile south of Shea Boulevard and one mile east of Scottsdale Road, on the north side of Doubletree Ranch Road at Gainey Ranch Road.
