I love this park. Its clean, has bathrooms, and has a great play ground for the little ones. Not to mention, its right next to a police station! So we definitely feel safe here. Absolutely love it. One of our favorites for sure.

Went for a moonlight walk around the perimeter of the park for exercise. Few people were there so practiced social distancing. It is near a police station so pretty safe even at night and well lit. It is one mile around. While still in the nineties temperature wise, it was comfortable even for our dog. Bring water for yourself and your pet.

This is a lovely park in a comfortable and safe area. There are benches along sidewalks and covered picnic areas as well as those out of the shelters. There are two different playground equipment areas. One for little children and one for slightly bigger kids. It was a wonderfully cool February day so it was so pleasant. We brought the grandkids and they had a blast.

The park is large. It has several green belt areas. It has ball diamond. Cricket. Soccer fields, there is also avery nice childrens play area. The park is located next to a police station. I wish more parks were that close, to a precinct. I felt very safe. There were several people walking dogs, all were friendly and dogs well controlled. There were teenagers on skateboards and hoverboards. It was a lot of fun.

Cute park near the police station. They keep it clean and theres sons tons of space to do a lot of different things. The playground equipment is pretty well kept. Sometimes it takes a long time to be replaced. Theres usually a decent crowd. Pretty good park overall.

Very nice and quiet park. Has decent Activity to make it vibrant but not too much to make it crowded or noisy. Decent restrooms too. Adjacent to a police station which probably is in its favor as we have never seen any shady charactera around.

This is our neighborhood park, so were here often. There is so much space to spread out and explore. We live to bring bikes or scooters, basketball, baseball and explore the dirt hills over by the bridge. That doesnt even include the playground! Sufficient bathrooms and easy parking make it the perfect place to play!

Sa
Review №23

Really spacious park! Two baseball fields, volleyball & basketball court, track for circuit training, etc. Theres only 1 water fountain, so be sure to pack your own water. Lots of little prairie dogs running around; so cute!

This park has a nice kids playground with slides, swings, wall climbing and sand play. The park is good for a walk, it had two baseball grounds, one basketball and one volleyball court each and plenty of green area. They have a few ramadas for parties or picnics too.

The park is nice and somewhat clean. The police department however is one of those who are bored and will go and scout out for anything to do which puts pressure on the environment.

Nice clean playground. Little shade

Review №43

All AZ parks need shade structures over the playground equipment. Other than that great place to walk, with a safe feeling environment as the PD is on the corner. The park gives the experience of the rich greenery of Arizona with desert sand on the other half. It doesnt have a distance measurement around the park so I have no idea how far I have walked if I went around the entire park. Im sure there is an app for that, but Id rather see it on my journey to meet that tangible achievement. For example all locals know Fountain Hills fountain is a measurable 2.0 miles around the fountain. Thats great exercise knowledge.

This is a very open park. There are baseball fields, a volleyball court, playground and several sets of exercise equipment. Great if you have a dog or a group to play a game, or love to walk. There is a public restroom with no doors on the stalls.
