Scottsdale’s McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year with new attractions aimed at boosting summer attendance.
The park unveiled a revamped outdoor playground in January and plans to open a new indoor, train-themed playground and splashpad play area in July.
According to a press release, new attractions coming this summer include:
• A 10,000-square-foot building, the Roundhouse, is scheduled to open in July with a focus on train-themed play. The building will include an indoor play structure in the shape of a locomotive engine and multipurpose room.
• A 5,000-square-foot splashpad play area is also on track to open in July. The addition of a splashpad has been the most requested enhancement over the past several years and was identified during the master planning process as a key addition that will increase use and provide recreation opportunities in the summer.
• A new entry plaza next to Stillman Station that includes a seating area, plants, and public art, new restrooms, pathways, exterior lighting, and more trees.
The total cost for the projects is $13.1 million and will come from several sources, including bond financing approved by Scottsdale voters in 2019.
