I discovered this park through an online article “Hidden Gems in your City”. I went and no was around, it was a nice calm evening. The view and the statues are to die for. Its a well kept park with a cemented trail up to the top. The statues are so awesome because they are something you don’t see at an ordinary park. You can bring your pet or kids on a stroller. Please people pick up your trash or if you see trash laying around be courteous and pick it up and toss it. Do it for and

We started coming here within the last two months. We have been back here almost every week. Its a nice, short walk. As you may know, it has been over 100° here lately, but this area is still okay to walk in. 10/10 great walk

Cute little stroll, the statues are neat. Not much to it, but we just went to check it out and go for a bit of a walk. Short and easy trail! Great for kiddos!

This was interesting. Stumbled on it. The area is small but leads to a lot of trails that people bike on. I hiked it and it was nice and peaceful. Mostly flat or bland desert but Ill take anything now.

What a cool, jewel in the desert. They have quite a few, very large, concrete, full color statues of numerous desert creatures. These statues are spread along a paved walking path that meanders threw a hilly, rock covered trail system. A great place for kids.

Fun, quiet place. Big desert animal statues, desert wildlife & plant life facts. No drinking water at all and no shade until you reach the top picnic table area. But beautiful view and short paved trail. My 3 year old loved it!

My family loved this trail. Along the trail are several native desert animal sculptures placed in a natural desert environment. The sculptures are great for pictures, I took several with my kids they love posing with them or even sitting atop the huge ones like the giant desert tortoise. The winding trails surrounded by huge boulders of varying shapes, sizes and colors are amazing. This area is especially beautiful at sunset. However the are not restrooms in this area. The restrooms are located on another street that heads into the official boot leg canyon. Those bathrooms are nice but youll need to drive there. Also there are nice interpretive sign posts throughout, detailing characteristics of the native mohave desert plants and animals. Well worth a visit if your passing through.
