Gilbert, Ariz. - Several parks across Gilbert will temporarily close this summer as part of planned maintenance and improvement projects designed to keep community spaces safe, functional and enjoyable for residents year-round.

The majority of closures were intentionally scheduled during the summer months, when park usage is typically lower due to extreme temperatures, helping reduce impacts to residents while allowing crews to complete work more efficiently.

While some projects focus on maintenance and rehabilitation, others support major park investments and long-term improvements that will expand recreation opportunities across Gilbert.
