Bike Safety in Chandler
Chandler has many amazing parks and trails to explore on your bicycle year-round. Riding your bike is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, get exercise and include your friends and family. Keep these tips in mind to ensure your next adventure is fun and safe!
- Wear appropriate safety equipment and attire, such as a helmet and reflective gear if biking at or after dusk.
- For the safety of other bicyclists, pedestrians and community members, please use reasonable speed and safety precautions when on a pedal bicycle, kick scooter or skates.
- Remember to give pedestrians plenty of space on sidewalks and trails.
- Stay hydrated.
For your next ride, try Desert Breeze Park for a scenic tour around the lake, or Veterans Oasis Park if you’re looking for an off-roading adventure. If you’re looking for more thrills, try Espee Bike Park.
As a reminder, motorized vehicles are prohibited from all Chandler parks, trails and sidewalks.
Holiday safety reminders
Please celebrate safely:
- Try to keep pets indoors, or otherwise secured. The unexpected bang of a firework can startle pets and result in uncharacteristic reactions.
- Fires, potentially serious burns, or hand and eye injuries can result from the use of fireworks, especially when young children are involved.
- The sale of permissible consumer fireworks is allowed from May 20 through July 6.
- The use of permissible consumer fireworks is allowed on private property, with the permission of the property owner, from June 24 through July 6.
- Chandler prohibits the use of permissible consumer fireworks in any public park.
- Find the latest information on Chandler’s fireworks restrictions.
- If you’re having a pool party, assign a responsible adult or two to be water watchers.
- Do not place ashes or coals near or in your trash or recycling container. Fires are commonly started because coals are not fully cooled before being thrown into the garbage. When hot coals are thrown out, the trash or recycling container can catch fire.

Chandler’s A-OK program lets residents help others
Inside your Chandler utility bill, you will find a convenient way to help people in need in the community. The Chandler Acts of Kindness donation program, or A-OK for short, was developed in July 2000, to allow residents to make a voluntary donation to assist individuals and families within the City of Chandler who are in need.
The contributions collected go back into the community through a grant process to support a variety of human service programs that provide basic needs such as food, shelter, clothing, transportation and utility bill assistance to low-income Chandler residents.
Thanks to the generosity of the community, the Acts of Kindness program continues to be a success. Every cent collected is put right back into the community to help individuals and families in need. We appreciate you helping to make the lives of your neighbors a little better.
For more information about the A-OK program, including how to make a donation call 480-782-2280.
