Creamery Park

Creamery Park is one of the few parks in Tempe that was named in honor of a significant historical element in the community rather than for a significant citizen or service club. The park is one of the smallest parks in Tempe at just under 3 acres. Built in 1999, the park resulted from an agreement with the developer of the residential complex to the north and the city to utilize the retention requirements for the development for a public park. The neighborhood between Rural Road and McClintock, Apache to University was one of the few residential areas of Tempe not served by a public park.
