Today in Fountain Hills

It is a busy winter Saturday across Fountain Hills, with parks, events and even early election planning on the town’s agenda.

Parks and fields hopping today

The town’s recreation calendar shows Golden Eagle Park booked for much of the day, with ballfields reserved from late morning into the afternoon for league and rental play. Nearby, Four Peaks Park is hosting morning pickleball leagues, keeping the new courts in steady use.

At Fountain Park, one of the ramadas is reserved through midday, adding to the steady stream of weekend gatherings that take advantage of the mild February weather. Town staff continue to promote these amenities as part of a broader push to position Fountain Hills as a regional destination for outdoor recreation.

Full events lineup through the weekend

The community events calendar highlights a busy arts and entertainment schedule stretching through the weekend. A symphonic program featuring Sibelius and Elgar is slated for multiple performances, and downtown businesses are leaning into the season with a wine walk and gallery events aimed at both residents and winter visitors.

Looking a bit ahead, the events site also points to major February and March gatherings, including the Spring Fountain Festival of Fine Arts & Crafts and the Irish Fountain Fest, both of which typically draw large crowds to Fountain Park and the Avenue of the Fountains.

Town shares timeline for 2026 local elections

The town clerk’s office has updated its local elections information page with key dates for the 2026 cycle. The terms of the mayor and three councilmembers are set to expire at the end of next year, and the town is reminding would-be candidates about petition requirements under state law.

While the actual voting is still many months away, officials are encouraging residents to watch for future updates from the town and the county elections department, especially as filing deadlines and ballot details come into focus.
