Performing Arts Center is beautiful and accoustically tuned.
This location has been a great spot for the Phoenix Suns Jr camps and basketball league. It's a great sense of community, fun, and respect for the kids. I love it. I will always be back every year.
Attended the annual community event at the park, hosted by the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club of America, Arizona Chapter. Great music. Interesting, historical displays.
