Scottsdale is noted throughout the country for its creative approach to city planning. Running the length of the city is the Indian Bend Wash Greenbelt, a 7.5 mile long flood control project that uses a system of parks, lakes, and golf courses as an alternative to a conventional concrete channel. This greenbelt offers endless recreational opportunities including fishing, sailing and other sports. Scottsdale still has miles of desert both within and adjacent to the community, offering Arizona scenery at its best. In addition, the city is the winter home of the San Francisco Giants basesball team.
Tours are avaiable at both locations.
