oh i love that! We had a basketball court at the playground in the center of the town I grew up in and the town would flood it. It was the place to be on the weekends! Alternatively, we would skate the ponds when I visited my grandparents. Either way, we wouldn't stop until our feet were frozen numb! ;)
I've always wanted to visit Arizona though, even though I tend not to like warmer climates as much. It looks beautiful and so interesting.
