MESA, AZ — Mesa Riverview expanded its entertainment offerings this summer with three new venues: a combined pickleball and dining facility, a slide park, and a batting cage center.
Here’s a closer look at the new venues.
Dink and Dine Pickle Park
The new entertainment hub combines dining and recreation with 13 pickleball courts spanning indoor and outdoor areas, plus lawn games and full-service food and drinks.
Christi Christian, chief marketing officer, gave ABC15’s Nicole Gutierrez a tour of the new entertainment venue that opened to the public on August 20 at 6 a.m.
Operating details and admission fees can be found here.
- Dink and Dine's address is 1017 N Dobson Rd, Mesa, AZ 85201
Slick City Action Park
The new Mesa location debuts the company's 'Twin Turbo' slides, which feature UV-reactive paint that makes them glow - a first for the company, according to a representative.
This Slick City Action Park represents the company's fifth Valley location, housed in a former Burlington store spanning over 42,000 square feet.
Hours of operation and ticket pricing for their experience can be found here.
Slick City Mesa is located at 1812 W. Rio Salado Pkwy., Mesa, AZ 85201

Taroko Sports
Let's play ball! Taroko Sports, a flagship brand of Taroko USA and a subsidiary of Taiwan’s TRK Corporation, opened a brand-new location at Mesa Riverview in July.
The new entertainment venue is a “nearly 18,000-square-foot indoor complex” that houses batting cages, electronic darts, miniature bowling, arcade, and more.
This is the company's first location in Arizona and second in the U.S.
“Our goal is to make baseball fun and accessible—not just for athletes, but for everyone,” said Gordon Hsieh, founder and CEO of TRK Corporation. “Taroko Sports is about creating a space where families, friends, and coworkers can come together to play, compete, and connect.”
ABC15 confirmed construction is underway for the second Arizona location.
Fazoli’s
Can’t forget about Fazoli's return. This standalone Fazoli's location at Mesa Riverview helped mark the restaurant's return to Arizona, following its debut of a location inside Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
Fazoli's new location is located at 953 N. Dobson Rd., at Mesa Riverview near Loop 202 Red Mountain and Dobson Road.
