About Encanto

Encanto is one of Phoenix’s urban villages, with a planning core around Park Central and a major recreation destination at Encanto Park. The village covers a broader mix of residential and commercial areas than the park itself.

Park Central and the village framework

The city identifies Park Central and its surrounding mid-density area as Encanto Village’s core. The village planning committee reviews land-use questions for this part of Phoenix, within the larger city government.

Different facilities around Encanto Park

Encanto Park’s recreation grounds include picnic areas, courts, playing fields and a playground. The pool, sports complex and nearby golf courses have their own entrances and operating arrangements.

Central Avenue’s rail corridor

The B Line connects northwest Phoenix with the Downtown Hub and South Phoenix along the north–south rail corridor. The A Line continues east from the Downtown Hub toward Mesa, with a transfer between the two lines Downtown.
