Comunity Center and Parks

As Ahwatukee continues to grow, the city of Phoenix keeps locating more and more services in Ahwatukee. We’re fortunate to be able to enjoy such a variety of ammenities right here in our own community.

Community Center

Ahwatukee will soon have a community center with a police sub-station and a mini city hall offering services such as business and motor vehicle licenses. The center is scheduled for completion in 2005 and will be located in the heart of Pecos Park on South 48th Street.
