This uniquely designed building in downtown Mesa features theatres, art galleries, and contemporary public art spaces. The downtown location holds "Play Ball: the Cactus League Experience," an excellent exhibit on the history of spring training baseball in Arizona. This rapidly growing museum, split between two buildings, features displays of the different phases of Mesa's history. Hohokam ruins at Mesa Grande Cultural Park Center Street and Main Street are perpendicular to each other and, as suits their names, intersect in the city center in a manner that provides an excellent reference point and makes city navigation relatively easy. Mesa is laid out on a straightforward north-south, east-west grid pattern as regards its major streets.
