Where to fly a drone in Phoenix
Phoenix in short
Phoenix bans drone takeoffs and landings in city parks and preserves except at designated parks, including Coyote Basin, Werner's Field, Mountain View Park II, Dynamite Park, Esteban Park and Desert Foothills Park. That means no flying from South Mountain or Camelback. Maricopa County parks ban drones outside club fields like the one at Adobe Dam.
