The Stadium Connector Shared Use Pathway is a short but important route in northwestern Mesa, Arizona. It links Hohokam Stadium (the spring training home of the Oakland Athletics) and Sloan Park (the training home of the Chicago Cubs) with the Rio Salado Pathway and Tempe Town Lake in the neighboring City of Tempe. For longer trips, trail uses can also hop on the nearby Tempe Canal Path, a paved 6-mile pathway, at N. Alma School Road.
Although much of the Stadium Connector route is off-road trail, note that a portion is cycle track.
Parking and restrooms are available in nearby Riverview Park (2100 W. Rio Salado Parkway, Mesa), which is just a couple blocks west of the Stadium Connector's western endpoint.
The distance is incorrect. From Dobson to Center in a straight line is 1.7 miles. This path is essentially Dobson to Center with some bends and turns in it.
You can use the stadium connector to ride from Mesa in to Tempe and Phoenix, or head the other direction and ride into Gilbert! A great paved path with lights!
