Water feature planned for the Grand

Planned as the centerpiece of the Grand development, the legacy water feature is modeled to resemble the Theodore Roosevelt Dam, which is located on the Salt River 70 miles northeast of Tempe. This version of the dam will be situated on the Grand Canal, a source of water from the Salt River to the Phoenix valley since the 1870s. This water feature will include a simulated dam water release, and will create a unique atmosphere for the entire development.


Multi-use canal pathway

The recreational pathway at The Grand at Papago Park Center serves as a beautiful amenity to the community. Features include stunning steel bridges, gravel and pavement to accommodate runners and bikers, and a sophisticated LED lighting design that even won an IES Illumination Award. Visitors strolling along the pathway can admire the water of the canal or even spend time reading the lighted signage placed throughout that features historic quotes from Theodore Roosevelt and others who helped build the legacy of the Valley.
