Fabulous neighborhood park connected to the Historic De Anza Trail along the Santa Cruz River near Green Valley. Great plant sales, wonderful yard art by locals, wonderful paths and meeting gazebos for all sizes of groups. Peaceful place to retreat to.

What a great park! Its very different but not in a bad way. Its an unusual looking park - see pictures. Its well maintained. Lots of dogs here - on leashes. And a great trail for walks. You really should see it!

An amazing small park, so much to see. Very peaceful, just find a comfortable place to sit and listen to the quiet, watch the wildlife and breath deep. Take a friend and a picnic for a different adventure. It was a good day.

A fascinating little park created by volunteers with amazing imagination. A true hidden gem. No you cant play soccer, or volleyball or slide on the slides, but walk, sit and enjoy . I know people who have lived in Green Valley 20 years and never heard of this place.

Very beautiful park that is well kept by the community (volunteers) daily. I came across it while having to wait for my daughter who was in dance camp near by. My son (3 months) and I came across this piece of heaven. It isnt the kind of park where you would go kick around a soccer ball or have the kids play at the playground (there is no play area). The paths are clearly marked so you can admire all the beautiful desert plants (which are labeled). It was very peaceful to sit and watch/ hear the environment that surrounds us (its a very quiet park). I appreciate the community allowing me to enjoy the park the few times I visited.
