Arizona State University Research Park, business and recreational park
The Arizona State University Research Park is a business park in Tempe where university research and private companies work together. The space includes modern buildings, wide paths for walking and cycling, small lakes with water features, and green areas with trees and lawns.
The site started about 40 years ago as farmland and was later transformed into a research park to support innovation and business development. This growth reflects Tempe's evolution as a center for technology and science.
The park's name connects the university with research and innovation, which shapes how locals view the area. Visitors notice students, workers, and residents mixing here to exchange ideas and collaborate on projects.
The paths are wide and smooth, ideal for walking or cycling, and parking is available near entrances for easy access. Visitors should come during business hours to experience the most activity and available amenities.
Ducks and geese regularly use the small lakes throughout the park, which visitors can observe while walking or relaxing. This wildlife adds a surprising natural element to what is otherwise a busy business environment.
