A mixed-use district is in the early planning stages next to Chandler’s largest park.
The city of Chandler is looking for developers to create a proposal for a 16-acre chunk of land at Tumbleweed Park, on the southwest corner of McQueen and Germann roads, according to a request for qualifications issued Jan. 7.
The document, which seeks preliminary plans from companies to develop a hotel, restaurants, retail shops and entertainment options at the site, transforming it into a “commercial destination that complements the park’s existing amenities, adds economic vitality and meets the needs of residents and employers,” according to the documents.
Tumbleweed Park — just south of the Loop 202 — spans 205 acres and has athletic fields, pavilions, play areas, a renovated recreation center, a 1.3-mile paved sidewalk and a pickleball court adjacent to the proposed site. It’s also home to the annual Ostrich Festival, which brings in more than 250,000 attendees.
