Answer

For a family-friendly resort in Arizona with a focus on swimming, tennis, pickleball, and basketball, there are several excellent options that cater to active kids and adults alike. Many resorts in the Phoenix and Scottsdale areas combine spacious pools with sports facilities and additional activities for children.

The Phoenician, Scottsdale: This resort offers a large main pool with a kids’ pool and waterslides, multiple tennis courts, a basketball court, and a full-service fitness center. They also provide family activities and kids’ programs.
JW Marriott Desert Ridge, Phoenix: Features multiple pools with waterslides, family-friendly cabanas, tennis and pickleball courts, and a basketball court. The resort also has an adventure water park and organized kids’ activities.
Fairmont Scottsdale Princess: A large resort with several pools, including a kids’ splash zone, tennis courts, and opportunities for organized family games. While not all areas have basketball, the pool and activity schedule make up for it.
Arizona Grand Resort, Phoenix: Known for its FlowRider wave machine and large family pool, the resort also has tennis and basketball courts. It’s ideal for families wanting active options in one location.
Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch: Multiple pools including a lazy river, tennis courts, and pickleball options. The resort offers kids’ programs and family activities throughout the day.

If you’re open to resorts outside of Arizona, consider:

Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort, California: Large pools with water slides, basketball and tennis courts, and kids’ programs in the Palm Springs area.
Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World: Multiple pools, waterslides, basketball, tennis, and extensive family activities for kids and teens.
Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort, San Antonio, Texas: Huge water park with pools and slides, basketball and tennis courts, and a wide range of family activities.

For Arizona specifically, your best options for combining large swimming pools with tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts are generally in the Scottsdale and Phoenix resort areas. Booking early is recommended, especially if you are traveling during spring or winter break, when resorts tend to fill up quickly.
