Desert Camp

The design review with City of Scottsdale is now complete and permits have been released for Desert Camp Community Center construction to begin. On Monday, Jan. 29, Haydon Building Corp. mobilized their team and sub-contractors began demolition/construction. The parking lot, pool, fitness center and restrooms are officially closed. Construction is anticipated to take 9-12 months.

In response to resident requests, the Community Council has collaborated with the contractor to provide access to specific amenities during the construction phase. This includes the walking paths, playground, basketball, tennis and pickleball courts at Desert Camp. While there might be occasional closures, residents can safely utilize these amenities during construction via the path and trail system, as parking is restricted in neighborhoods and on sidewalks, curbs, and easements throughout DC Ranch.

Residents are encouraged to visit The Homestead Community Center.
