Hi everyone,

I'm in search of "urban waterfall" scenes in the Scottsdale-Mesa areas. I know a couple of families that want family portraits with a waterfall backdrop, but they're not willing to drive to a real waterfall. Does anyone know of pretty scenes, like entrances to neighborhoods with man-made waterfalls in the Scottsdale area? Lots of vegetation around it would be a plus.

(I know, I reminded them of where they live and the 'natural' lack of trees, streams, and waterfalls...)

Thanks!
Paul

Carefree sundial has a large waterfall, pond,artwork and smaller water features.

Scottsdale quarters has water splashes. Very photogenic.

Kier land common has water splash area as well
I think these are all free.

Thanks! The family is looking for "Green, lots of trees, with a stream and possibly a waterfall, not far from Scottsdale."

I think we would ALL like that! So far Freestone Park or the entrance to Las Sendas are the top contenders, even though neither is really close to Scottsdale.

Oh, and there's 13 family members that will be in the photo shoot. I'm thinking the edge of the south rim; "Okay, now take a couple steps backwards..."
