A splash pad they'll run straight for, a courtyard you can see across, and no stairs anywhere. Here's what a family afternoon here looks like.
The splash pad sits at the west end of the courtyard — a bubbler-style pad, which means no standing water and no depth to worry about. It was in the plans from the start rather than added as an afterthought, and it's the reason a lot of families will come at all.
Practical advice: bring a towel and a change of clothes. Assume they're getting in, because they are.
This is Arizona, so it's the first thing worth answering. The entire courtyard sits under a covered black-steel canopy with fans and misters for the summer and heaters for the winter. You're outside the whole time, and you're not in direct sun.
It won't be February-cool in July. But it's a genuinely usable outdoor space in months when most patios in the Valley aren't.
Once you're in the courtyard there's plenty of room — wide paths between the kitchens, shops, bar and stage, enough for a double stroller on a busy night without a three-point turn.
The courtyard sits slightly below the tenant level. There are two small steps on the direct route and a ramp if you'd rather roll straight in, which with a stroller in one hand and a toddler in the other you probably would.
Parking is free street and surface-lot parking all around the block, so you park once and unload once.
Three kitchens and six retail and eatery spots, every one of them independently owned. That's the practical advantage of a courtyard over a restaurant with kids in tow: everyone eats what they want, at the same table, at the same time.
We'll publish who's in the building as tenants are announced — the news page is where that will land.
Yes. The courtyard is all ages and the 16-foot splash pad was built for kids. Some evening events are 21+, and we say so clearly when they are.
It's a 16-foot bubbler-style splash pad in the west end of the courtyard — no standing water and no depth, so it works for little kids. Bring a towel and a change of clothes, because they will use it.
Yes, easily. There is a ramp into the courtyard so you can skip the two steps on the direct route, and the paths between the kitchens, shops, bar and stage are wide enough for a double stroller on a busy night.
The entire courtyard sits under a covered black-steel canopy with fans and misters for summer and heaters for winter. You're outdoors the whole time, but out of direct sun.
Daytime. We open at 9am on Saturday and Sunday and 10am on weekdays, and mornings and afternoons in the courtyard are bright, quiet and easy. Later evenings get busier and louder.
Three kitchens and six retail and eatery spots, all independently owned, so there will be range. Nobody has to agree on one restaurant, which is the practical advantage of a courtyard.
Until then there's a 3D walkthrough if the kids want to see it, and hours, parking and accessibility are all in one place. Planning a birthday or a shower? The courtyard does daytime events too.
