Welcome to Clark Park Community Center
Water sliding, fitness classes, lap swimming, crocheting… these are just a few of the activities offered at the brand-new Clark Park Community Center and Pool.
The 10-acre park was originally constructed in 1949. The pool, added in 1974, closed in 2008, amid the Great Recession. The park has served as a gathering place for the community, hosting several neighborhood associations and the Clark Park Community Garden. It is once again serving as a key hub for connectivity and play with newly constructed facilities.
There are four classrooms which offer space for a variety of activities and programs. The rooms are also reservable for meetings and social events.
The pool features a zero-depth entry, a 17-foot spiral water slide, five lap lanes and several shade structures. A stunning Lith Mosaic art piece by Nicole Mueller greets guests as they arrive. Hope to see you soon at Tempe’s newest community center. For additional information, visit tempe.gov/clark.

“Con Artists in the Archives” -Dr. Anita Huizar-Hernandez
The bizarre 19th century “Peralta Land Grant” scheme in Arizona tests the limits of how ideas about race, citizenship and national expansion are forged. Drawing from a wide variety of sources including court records, newspapers, fiction and film, Dr. Huizar-Hernandez argues that the creation, collapse and eventual forgetting of Reavis’s scam, forgeries and fraud reveals the mechanisms by which narratives, real and imaginary, forge borders.
