A prominent Phoenix suburb, Chandler is also one of the fastest growing municipalities in the United States, which has largely been fueled by the establishment of communications firms such as Motorola and Intel.  However, the heart of the city lies in the revitalized downtown historic district where the award winning Chandler City Hall and a Center for the Arts are located.  If one is interested in more seasonal activities, a decorative tumbleweed tree is illuminated every night at A.J. Chandler Park during the winter holidays.  Other notable events include the famous annual Ostrich Festival in Tumbleweed Park that commemorates the legacy of ostrich farms that were once numerous in the Chapman area.  

The National Civic League recently named Chandler an All-America City due in large part to the extensive work of outreach programs.  The Chandler Community Services Department provides recreation, fitness, artistic and educational opportunities to residents as well as visitors.  Based in the downtown area, the Community Services Department operates in the community center, senior center, dozens of neighborhood parks in addition to six aquatic centers.  Programs offered at these locations include swimming, tennis, arts camps, dance classes and nature courses to both children as well as adults.  The town is also an ideal place for Millennials having been named one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People in 2011; the fifth time it has received this designation from America’s Promise Alliance.
