Downtown Chandler Improvements – Dr. A.J. Chandler Park Renovation (CA2402.401)
The City of Chandler began construction in early 2026 for the Dr. A.J. Chandler Park Renovation project. Home to many of the city’s special events and festivals, the park was last renovated in 1986, and Downtown Chandler has changed significantly since that time. With the addition of multi-family housing, office space, and new retailers and restaurants, the park has also seen an increase in special events and entertainment, now with more than 100 events a year.
The City of Chandler has contracted with Willmeng for improvements to Dr. A.J. Chandler Park, on both sides of Arizona Avenue, between Buffalo and Boston streets. Crews are currently working to begin grading activities and installation of underground utilities.
Scheduled to take place April 13 - 24, during daytime hours, weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., crews will install underground utilities in Arizona Place between Buffalo Street and Commonwealth. To accommodate this work, a flagger will be in place to assist travelers, and the road will be restored to two-way traffic during off-work hours. Parking will not be permitted near the work zone, with No Parking signs in place.
Crews also continue work within the park sites on both sides of Arizona Avenue to install underground utilities such as water, sewer, and electrical to serve the future park landscape and structures.
During construction, parking along Arizona Avenue is limited and a few angled parking spaces along San Marcos and Arizona Place are not available; however, parking structures and surface street parking continue to offer parking throughout the downtown.
Park improvements on the west side of Arizona Avenue are expected to be complete prior to the 2026 holiday season, and on the east side of Arizona Avenue by early spring 2027.
