When it comes to boating opportunities, we’ve got you covered! Hundreds of paddlers and rowers explore Tempe Town Lake each and every week.

Tempe’s boating programs offer opportunities for all ages and skill levels. Introduction to Kayaking and Introduction to Stand-Up Paddling are two great ways for your family to learn a new activity. Youth ages 10-17 years are invited to participate along with an adult.

Tempe’s Junior Rowing team is open to teens ages 13-18.

They train 5 days a week in preparation for races on Tempe Town Lake and around the country. Adults have lots of options, too! Classes and programs are designed to fit every skill level from the beginner wanting to try something new to the experienced rower looking to stay challenged.

Glow Paddles are popular options offering a unique perspective of the lake. No experience is required and we provide all the necessary kayaking equipment, including glowin-the-dark accessories. Be sure to check out the boating opportunities on pages 17-18, 28-29, and at tempe.gov/play.

Come out and play! The wildly popular event returns on Saturday, Feb. 24 with plenty of fun play for kids of all ages. From 10 a.m..-2 p.m., families will enjoy a variety of free activities that will get their legs moving and their heart pounding, including an agility course, rock climbing wall, sports and kayaking. Other programs will encourage them to expand their mind and creativity, such as art, STEM and gardening activities. PlayDay is a collaboration between Tempe Parks & Recreation, Tempe Public Library, Tempe Community Arts and Kid Zone Enrichment Program. PlayDay is sponsored in part by the Tempe Diablos.
