Home to nearly half a million residents, Mesa is inarguably one of Arizona’s most culturally rich cities.

 A haven for sports fans and outdoor enthusiasts

Swing by the state-of-the-art Gene Autry Sports Complex, known for its batting cages and practice fields, or watch the pros gear up for the regular season at Hohokam Stadium (Spring Training home of the Oakland Athletics) or Sloan Park (Spring Training home of the Chicago Cubs). Skateboarders and BMX bikers will enjoy easy access to an impressive range of extreme sporting facilities, while golf enthusiasts can choose from more than 40 meticulously maintained courses within city limits.

If hiking and rock climbing are more your speed, look no further than the statuesque Superstition Mountains, just a short drive away. Other outdoor recreation hot spots include Saguaro Lake, Canyon Lake and Desert Arroyo Park, all of which offer hiking trails and awe-inspiring views.

Outdoor events in Mesa include the Mesa Music Festival, held downtown during November, and Schnepf Farms’ annual summer Peach Festival, where you can score everything from cobbler to cinnamon rolls to salsa.

Delectable dining options at every turn

Grab a slice or two of pizza at Organ Stop Pizza, which features a massive Wurlitzer pipe organ in the dining room, or sample the pasties (flaky pastry cases stuffed with savory fillings) at the beloved Cornish Pasty Company. T.C. Eggington’s is famous for its award-winning breakfast fare, and Los Dos Molinos is the place to go for flavorful Mexican food and perfectly sweet margaritas. In the mood for a cold one? Check out The Beer Research Institute, which offers an eclectic menu in addition to an array of craft beers.

Spectacular shopping no matter your style

Spend a Saturday afternoon browsing the myriad of shops in Downtown Mesa, including antique stores, comic book hangouts and one-of-a-kind jewelry boutiques. For upscale apparel and home decor, visit the Village Square at Dana Park, and for popular stores such as Bed Bath & Beyond and Sports Authority, look no further than Mesa Riverview.
