Mesa Grande, Archaeological site in Mesa, United States.
The Mesa Grande site features earthen mounds and structural remnants that extend across an area larger than a standard football field at 27 feet high.
The Hohokam civilization constructed and inhabited Mesa Grande between AD 1100 and 1400, developing extensive water canal networks for desert agriculture.
The archaeological park contains a reconstructed ballcourt where ancient Hohokam people participated in games using rubber balls made from native plants.
The Mesa Grande Cultural Park welcomes visitors from October through May, with guided tours available at the visitor center completed in 2013.
Mesa Grande represents one of only two remaining Hohokam mounds in the Phoenix metropolitan area, preserving substantial adobe walls and platform structures.
