Geographic Information System


Summer Youth Program Fund

The Geographic Information System (GIS) provided by the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority and The Maricopa Council on Youth Sports and Physical Activity (MCYSPA) is designed by Arizona State University Institute for Social Science Research. This system will serve as a comprehensive resource for the residents of Maricopa County as well as youth and amateur sports professionals. It will also serve as an integral evaluating tool for the Sports and Tourism Authority's Youth and Amateur Sports Biennial Grant Program.

This data has been overlaid with demographic, census and other information which assists grant applicants in making the best case possible for their proposal, as well as providing grantmakers an effective evaluation tool. This convenient and powerful web-based application also caters to families in locating sports facilities and programs throughout Maricopa County. Recently offering aerial imagery through Google Earth, this GIS plots over 2,000 facilities and programs with extensive data, hyperlinks and contact information.

While we continue to capture all pertinent data within Maricopa County, we welcome you to this self-service site and add/edit your data on facilities and programs. This benefit is free of charge to all non-profit organizations (for profit organizations should contact MCYSPA at 480-947-0369).
