WELCOME TO SPRING AND SUMMER IN ELOY!

A

N

EL

The City of Eloy is proud to have a city with parks, mini parks, community pool as well as open/natural spaces for the enjoyment of all Eloy residents and their families. These facilities enable everyone to have the opportunity to get out and take advantage of the weather, sit under trees, swim and in general enhance their physical and mental well-being.

We are continuing to work on improvements throughout the City. One of the latest is the artwork that has been added to Main Street. The entrance to downtown Eloy now has a colorful and festive feel. This festive look brings to mind the Fiestas Patrias as well as the Balloon Glow events which have become major events for Eloy.

In May, join us for our Memorial Day Celebration at Eloy Memorial Park Cemetery, honoring the men and women who died while serving our country. If you haven’t had the chance to visit Eloy Veterans Heritage Park off Main Street, please do so, it is a beautiful tribute to our veterans.

Kickoff your summer fun at the Summer Kickoff Luau Party with an island style celebration at Jones Park. Learn about all of our awesome summer activities and enjoy food trucks, music, live entertainment including Hula and Fire dancers.

The 4th of July celebration is always an important date on everyone’s calendar. The picnics, food and of course, fireworks, are here for all to celebrate this important family holiday.

We continue to work on bringing new business, residents and activities to the City. While we have been successful in increasing job opportunities in the city we are working diligently on housing, streets and activities that will make living in Eloy an even better experience for all.

We want all of our citizens to enjoy all Eloy has to offer and do it in a safe and healthy way. Let’s work O Y, O together to keep our city clean, safe and an enjoyable place to live and work. Mayor Micah Powell ARIZ
