Welcome to Harelson Park located in Tempe, Arizona. This quaint suburban park was named for Harvey Haralson, a man who migrated to Tempe at the age of 27 and became a local banker. While working at the bank he met the future Mrs. Harvey Haralson whom he married in 1919, a year after moving to the region. Harelson was one of the founders of the Tempe Rotary Club and in 1942 he left the Banking Business and started his own insurance company. After his son James returned from his service in World War II he joined his father's business and eventually his grandson would also join the business. Harvey Haralson passed away in 1986 but his descendants still reside in the area. This park boasts tennis courts, a lighted full basketball court, a soccer field, and more. Come out and have fun.
