If you have traveled down Riggs off of Ellsworth lately you will have noticed the HUGE structure looming in the distance. No, this is not a new Home Depot or another strip mall. This building is the covered arena!
This brand new addition to the parks of Queen Creek started this spring and is set to open in December of 2008.
The first phase of construction will include the covered arena, barn, maintenance and business office, restroom and meeting room. It will also include a community arena for use by Queen Creek residents only. A second phase will include trails.
It took a while for the construction to begin as the developers were waiting for the Queen Creek Landfill to close. Yes, that is correct, this new park is being built where the landfill used to be. This park near Riggs and Hawes roads is expected to cost $17.5 million.
The residents are quite excited to have this center in the future. Many residents and people in the area are horse owners and it will be wonderful to have a place to ride so close. Many people are hoping that this beautiful arena will attract horse shoes, rodeos and maybe even polo matches. You can bet they are planning a huge celebration for the grand opening.
