Because of forecasted storms, the City of Phoenix has sand available for residents to use in sandbags.

Large roll-off bins filled with sand are at the following locations:

District 1 — Paseo Highlands Park — 3435 W. Pinnacle Peak Rd.

District 2 — Paradise Valley Park — 17642 N. 40th St.

District 3 — Moon Valley Park — 502 W. Coral Gables Dr.

District 4 — Encanto Park Sports Complex — 2121 N. 15th Ave.

District 5 — El Oso Park — 3451 N. 75th Ave.

District 6 — Pecos Park — 17010 S. 48th St.

District 7 — Cesar Chavez Park — 7858 S. 35th Ave.

District 8 — Esteban Park — 3345 E. Roeser Rd.

Sandbags can be helpful in damming or diverting floodwater from monsoon thunderstorms. The sand at these locations is available at no charge, but the city does not provide bags or shovels; residents will need to bring their own. Sand will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis while supplies last.

The Public Works Department also offers several other services to help residents clear away debris after a storm. Visit phoenix.gov/publicworks to learn more.
