I figured it out, unfortunately this post is too small to contain my explanation.

The remnants of an air strip of some type.
The markings on the ground are for clearance from the engines.

Very well. Its a shooting range. A trap shooting range to be precise.

Maybe:

North Center Street Landfill
13602 E. BEELINE HIGHWAY, Scottsdale, Arizona 85256

Salt River Landfill
13602 E. BEELINE HIGHWAY, Scottsdale, Arizona 85256

Ah..good call. Odd why part of it was blurred out, though. I was able to streetview the entrance (off the highway) and it appears to be gated..so that's likely it.

No, it's gated because its a shooting range. What you think is blurred out is not. Can't you see the guys standing around with SHOTGUNS?

Nope, but now that you mention it I see all the broken clays.. 😛

i've never been to a proper shooting range in my life and even i could figure out that it is a shooting range.

 

[JMapleton]

It's a landing strip for time traveling flying toasters from 1992.

Up here, I just shoot in my backyard. I can honestly say I have never been to a shooting range anywhere near that size.
