Zanjero Park is a outdoor space that you can walk around and it has a couple of pavilions to picnic at. They have hitching posts for horses and some burrowing Owls.They do have a concrete path that stretches over a mile if you want to get some walking or bike riding in.With that said its just a patch of desert next to the free way. I cannot see visiting this in the summer time since shade is limited. Its decent place for some alone time.Check it out and let me know what you think.

A little gem! Great for Photoshoots, very quiet and not crowded at all! Was able to take engagement photos and enjoy the scenery with my family! Would definitely recommend this place to photographers and walkers. Seems like a nice place for dogs to walk around as well.

Came here to see the burrowing owls, got to see two almost right away! They perched in a tree enjoying the shade while we took photos and video. We will almost certainly come back, perhaps during cooler weather.

Good place for a little walk. Not a lot of owls were out at the time but it was hot and during the day. Wish there was more shade and more places to sit but good for an easy walk.

This place is a real hoot -- no really. The burrowing owls are really cute if youre into that sort of thing.

A really cool little park. A nice walk on a weekend and it was pretty quiet aside from nearby traffic. Seeing the owls was really cool as well as roadrunners. Not really a lot to it but its still worth a visit to see the birds.

Not the most exciting walk with the freeway right there, but there are some habitats for burrowing owls which were so cool! We saw them both times we went! Great place to take dogs to run around.

Went there this morning for the first time in over a year and no owls. Their holes were filled up with cobwebs and pebble . Did something happen? Saw a roadrunner and lots of big lizard . A very calm walk minus the passing cars.

No huge crowds, convenient location, very few burrowing owls left unfortunately.

Owls are the coolest, it is hit or miss whether they will be out of their burrows. The only thing that isnt that great is the constant traffic noise coming from the freeway right next to the park. Still it is a very cool experience.

We were staying in Gilbert, and when I learned about Zanjero Park, I knew we had to visit. Even if I werent slightly obsessed with owls, I would recommend a visit to anyone who wants to see owls up close. Zanjero is located next to one of the Phoenix areas busy highway loops, which is another reason this park is exceptional. It is small with some dirt hiking/biking/horse riding trails, but the real attractions can be found by taking the short hike on the paved walkway along the perimeter of the park. There, you will find that local folks have created a safe place for the burrowing owls to live. When we visited South Dakota, we went to great lengths to snap a few pictures of burrowing owls who had taken up residence in prairie dog burrows. Imagine my delight in seeing numerous burrowing owls literally standing in front of these man-made burrows that line the perimeter of Zanjero Park. The park is located next to a very large field, and evidently, that provides these little guys with all of the food they need. The park includes a large water source that has been put in place in order to fill a trough that horses can use. There are also hitching posts and a nice set of picnic tables for visitors. If you have a penchant (obsession?) for owls, or if you simply want to view nature up close, a visit to Zanjeo Park will also be high on your list!

Nice open area to walk or bike. Its a great place for kids or even adults (out of practice) to get back on a bike and peddle well graded loop of short trails.

The owl burrows are interesting and make this park a little different from others. There is no bathroom, so only 4 stars.

This seemingly abandoned park is a desert sanctuary from the busy town. It has built homes for burrow owls that youll get to see if you go. Also has a long walking/biking trail and is a great place for photos.

Review №35

Overall I enjoyed going here but I was not blown away. The sidewalk is very nice and makes a loop around the outer edge of the park. The owls are burrowed along the sidewalk and are easy to spot. The parking lot was well maintained and had plenty of space.The park was kinda bland though. Not a lot of vegetation to view and the shade is a little lacking. Good for a different place to walk the dogs, but not great for nature viewing.

I go here often, to walk and see how my borrowing owls are doing. It borders the 202 just south on Lindsey, just down the street from my home off of Higley. A delight to have in our city.

You can actually see the owls. It is a side walk in the desert though. Bring water and just relax.

My review of: Zanjero ParkThis park is a burrowing owl refuge. No play equipment for children. The parking lot is graveled. Landscaping is all desert. There is a covered picnic pavilion, water fountain and a horse watering trough that you can fill up for your animal. You will have to lift up your dog in order for them to reach it. There was water flowing in an irrigation ditch on one side of the covered picnic area. There is both dirt and cement trails to walk around on.
