Loved watching the sunset from one of the rest areas with my son. Its very clean here and the paths are clear. Lots of other folks out and about. Everyone was very respectful walking their fur babies & riding their bikes. All kinds of dogs and none barked at us or even tried to sniff us as we passed. It was a nice experience.

This place has nice views and a decent track to bike, jog or walk with dogs. The track goes in and out along the canal. The field in the middle bowls and collects water,. It can be quite swampy at times. Could have mud wrestling parties or extreme frizbe fun here. Couple areas to relax with a bbq grill and picnic tables/ water fountains. This place seems to have the usual neighborhood residents, getting a healthy stroll in, in the morning. Lots of care/work goes into keeping this place nice.. but I think it needs alot more trees, more trash cans, more benches, better markers/map for disc golf. Id like to see something for animals here, domestic and wild.. All sorts of wondering bird life visit here. Ive seen a crane, stork, swans, harks, geese, ducks and all sorts of smaller normal and rarer types. Canal bridge collects trash and should be cleaned regularly. The fields behind was all farmlands and now being turned in housing. Not sure if we will still have this nature much longer.

I love this trail, it is a easy way to disconnect from the city without going out from the city, the couple times that I have been there it wasnt a lot of people walking and it felt so peaceful, you can walk as long as you want, I totally recommend this easy trail when you want to go for a walk...

I love it because I take my dog for a long walk or I can take the smaller route. Make sure you take your own doggy bags and water. The sound of the water is nice and sometimes you can see horses.

Id give it a 5, but the fact people drive near the roads when you walk next to the wash. People drive slow and look at the kids. Just be cautious.

This park is an amazing place to come by yourself to get away or to bring the dog for a walk, family, party etc. Its a very nice large park. When its busy it doesnt feel like everyone is too close to one another. Definitely one of my favorites in the area!

Looking to take a peaceful, uninterrupted walk? Take this path. Put your ear buds in and go for a stroll. You might cross paths with some like minded individuals enjoying some peace of their own.On this path there are multiple ramadas, a playground at both ends of the path and one in the center.Do you ever read the signs you pass by? Yeah, me either. I dont know how many times I mustve passed this sign before I read it. Do you speak dog?

I love the park so much. It was amazing I am new to Arizona and when I first saw the park I thought it was very nice and organized I did see on a very small amount of trash on in the park but i dont care i would rate this a 10 but this only has a five star. I would totally recommend this park to anyone and even my friends and family.

My kids live this park. Its great for kids from little little to like 10. Its got hiding places and its big. My kids always say take me to the maze park cause thats kind what it is. There is plenty to do and there are decent sized feilds. And the channel canal is a great place for fishing.

Very nice park minus the homeless people that linger around there. More families would go there if we could control that. All in all the park has a nice layout, you could walk for miles and enjoy it.

This is a great park to walk, run, bike, skate, etc. Theres lots of benches, picnic tables and a playground for the kids. Bring plenty of water. At sundown there are a lot of nats so be careful where you walk. No public bathroom so plan accordingly.

This park is a great place to hike, jog, ride a bike, or just about any other outdoor activity. It stretches on for several miles. With a disc golf course, wide sidewalks and several park benches placed along your path, youre able to enjoy the comforts of a traditional park, but in linear form.

My friend is spending his first winter out in the Phoenix area near Sun City. I was visiting him and we wanted to play some disc golf one afternoon and found the Grand Canal Linear Park nearby. This part features lots of manicured grounds in a sunken long thin area as the name suggests. A walking / jogging trail runs down the middle of it and up the sides which slope upwards are grassy and landscaped areas that have goals for disc golf. I wish there was some signage explaining how the disc golf goals were laid out but otherwise we had a fine time playing out here.

I love to ride my bike from the small park at 75th and Camelback all the way to the Cardinals stadium. The trail goes under 83rd and 91st so I dont have to stop for crossing streets. Very well maintained and great for family walks and bike rides,

Such a beautiful place to ride a bike and lots of people walking too. Concrete and asphalt paths and trees and grass and between in the middle is this concrete lined water filled canal which runs the entire length of gradual up and down trails which are not steep, didnt mention flowers, catus, trees.

Review №73

I visited here mainly for the disc golf course which has a lot of improvement to be made, but none the less is interesting and enjoyable and once they get the projected items for the golf course installed should be a decent to good course. Missing T pads T signs needs better basket numbers and directions. Hopefully all provided by the city of Glendale, and soon to be properly installed to add another course outside of Scottsdale.

Its a nice place for a walk, jog or run. Mornings are a bit colder because of the dips in the path but over all so nice to be surrounded by nature. May be a good idea to bring a hat because there is not many trees big enough for shade on the path.

I really enjoy this park for my son. The play area is a little dated and worn but still functional and large! He can run all over the play sets and it has 4 slides! The only thing i dont like is there isnt a fence along the canal. I keep him far enough away and the play area isnt too close to the canal but still i wish there was a barrier.
