Good morning, Scottsdale.

Scottsdale’s McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park is marking its 50th anniversary by unveiling new summer attractions (aimed at boosting visitor numbers) including a renovated outdoor playground, a 10,000-square-foot indoor play facility called The Roundhouse, and a 5,000-square-foot splash pad that will open in July. The park is also upgrading its entry plaza with new seating, landscaping and art (funded in part by a $13.1 million bond approved in 2019) to enhance family fun.

Scottsdale’s millionaire count reached 14,800 last year, a 125% increase over the previous decade that puts the city ahead of nearly every global wealth hub — except Shenzhen.

Scottsdale City Council unanimously approved the tentative 2025-26 budget during its May 20 meeting—cutting $4 million from the original proposal—and set the total at $2.204 billion.

Councilwoman Solange Whiteheads said the new plan builds on earlier councils’ work.

Gov. Katie Hobbs signed House Bill 2074 on May 6, letting retired law enforcement officers serve as school resource officers in schools and expanding safety grant funds for equipment, infrastructure + training, while requiring each school to have one officer trained to interact with students with disabilities.

The 2025 WM Phoenix Open raised a record $18.1 million for local charities, marking the highest one-year total in the tournament's history.

It beat last year’s $17.5 million record and brought its overall charity total to over $160 million since WM became title sponsor in 2010 — a major milestone for the event.
