The Lifestyle: Active

Whether you choose to enjoy your afternoons being physically active in the great outdoors, or prefer to peruse the air conditioned museums, neighborhood shops, and art galleries on sultry days, Fountain Hills offers its residents so many options that you’ll  find there’s little need to venture elsewhere. And, even once the sun has set, Fountain Hills remains vibrant with everything from fine dining, theatre, and dancing to everyone’s favorite nightly activity ~ star gazing.

The Fountain

Although it’s no longer the tallest fountain in the world, this one-of-the-top-five tallest fountains is an event in and of itself. You can picnic, walk, or simply relax in awe of the Fountain. In order to ensure nearby homes and vehicles aren’t sprayed by the Fountain’s water, it’s not in operation when it’s too windy.

Movie in the Park

Fountain Hills offers family movie night under the stars at the Fountain Park Amphitheater! The event is always free and movie-goers are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs. Refreshments are sold at the event, so there’s no need to haul a cooler. The LEGO Movie is scheduled for September’s viewing.

Golfing

Since Arizona is the golf mecca of the United States, it’s no surprise Fountain Hills has a handful of challenging and beautiful private and public golf courses for its residents and visitors. The Desert Canyon Golf Club, the SunRidge Canyon Golf Club, and Eagle Mountain Golf Club are all public courses just a couple of miles from the center of town. The FireRock Country Club and the Ancala Country Club are private-equity, 18-hole courses also in Fountain Hills.
