Nice park to walk dogs. Lots of room to walk. Next to Japanese friendship garden.

The park was quite clean and big. It was nice and green and there was a walkway that went all around the park. There’s a playground for the kids and the bathrooms are clean. I think the best part of the park was the flags. I went on a windy day so the way they were dancing in the wind was so beautiful.

Do not use the restrooms! find some where else for that business. Park it self well kept and clean. Right off the highway, nice place to stretch and take a walk. Several eateries right down the street. Nice play ground for the kids.

Huge homeless population here. For the most part they stay to themselves and dont bug you. Park is under construction right now so only a small fraction of it is usable. From the plans and drawing they have out at the construction site, the new updates they are making look amazing. Cant wait until it opens.

Awesome just awesome. Splash pad, playground with a lot of verticals, and a walk to the sky.

Pizza fest!The lines were the only thing I didn’t enjoy. You had to wait 30mins to buy pizza that you’re unsure about. I was only able to try two pizza places because of the wait time.Everything else was great. The park was clean. There was live music. My mother even got a free massage. They even had face paint and a bounce house for children.Hopefully there will be another Pizza Fest.

Love being here for McDowell Mountain Music Festival. It is a great park for festivals or any events in general. Very open, fits a good amount of people and the park itself is very nice and well kept the times I have been when no events are being held!

Well there still working on the west side but its a beautiful park plus I needed wi fi

A nice large park with plenty of parking. There are some mature trees that provide shade. A beach volleyball court, playground and picnic benches.

Over all a great park to enjoy your favorite band its great to laydown in the grass and chill after getting all crazy in the pit.The bash was one of the best shows of the year for me will definitely jam out and see another show here again. Only a 10 min walk from Street parking finding a parking was different but it pretty easy or just come early as possible and get a spot in the park watch the one way streets... lol

Beautiful, bustling park. We had a lovely time laying out on our blankets, soaking up the sun, and observing our fellow park-goers. There was much activity, from a birthday party with dinosaur suited entertainment to uni-wheeled skateboarders; a father/son duo tearing it up with souped up RC cars; enthusiast exercising; we even enjoyed some live music from across the fence at the beautiful Japanese Friendship garden. One of my favorite parks in the area for sure.

The Bash outdoor concert event was busy but a lot of fun. A few good punk bands rocking out all day. Suicidal Tendencies put on the best set with tons of energy!

Lovely area. Attended Chinese New Year festival here.

This place is worth the visit. Thank you for the bird viewing demonstration. Please thank your third party rescue organization.

Margaret T Hance park is a little slice of peaceful nature in the heart of downtown. The park staff and security couldnt be more helpful, a true delight to visit and unwind. The sand volleyball court was outstanding.

My husband and I went this park because of Chinese Culture and Cuisine Festival 2018. The park was huge and pretty clean if you came from Culver St.But at east side, the park was pretty not kept-well. It looks rundown and you can tell people threw trash away. It is pretty sad.The park also had playground for kids. Before sunset, it is nice to see sun from west side.The only thing is, if you are new to this route, make sure do not miss Culver St that was very close from highway. Only 0.3 mile according to Google Maps.The best part was the West, you can enjoy swans from the side of fence. I believe the swans are a part of condominiums next to the park.I hope people are started taking care of east side of park that seems usually they use for events.

Good, clean space to hang out with people.

Great location very easy access friendly staff would recommend

Decent. Went for a rally so I expected no parking. Nothing really to do there. No surprise since its summer 9 months out of the year.

Its a good park, a nice place to go and relax. To sit in the grass enjoy the day.

Im actually helping the remodel of this entire park! Its going to be amazing once its finished being renovated!

Nice park to walk or run around. Japanese garden is right next to it.

A lovely park, magically placed over the freeway.

This park was recommended to visit for the MLK day celebration.There were vendors galore,the park was clean,and everyone was friendly.Security was also present so I felt extremely safe.

Park under construction. Dates unknown

Great BMX event!!!! Love that the city opened up the park for this annual event! The bikers are so appreciative and 99% of them are respectful and appreciate having a new place to ride.

Enjoyed the parks PIZZA FEST for My Granddaughters Birthday. Safe to say she enjoyed herself as well as one of her favorite foods.

Lovely park next to the Japanese cultural center and the Irish cultural center and next to the Burton Barr Library. Several bike paths merge here.

Kind of small and but its really beautiful took probably about 15 minutes to walk the entire thing. The koa fish are really cool looking cant feed them but they are fun to watch.

Seeing the Native Nation theater work here from ASU Gammage was incredible, immersive and interconnected with past, present and future. I loved walking the wheel with everyone, thank you to the indigenous communities that welcomed us into their circle. This park was the perfect center location.There is also a great slide one can use as a recliner so you can watch the clouds and stars.

We went to hoowlween festival. Had a great time. Which there was more food trucks and vendors

The park was having skate boarding event. Lots of tricks. This is the 2nd time we have seen this event. If you can find the dates for it, definitely go and see these athletes.

Lovely scenery...Nice weather as well...

This was a great spot to attend the Vegan Festival! It was spacious and the way everything was set up with the vendors, the music and the vegan food trucks was great! We had a wonderful family time and enjoyed the Vegan Festival at this park!

Cool spot lots of homeless people not the best area

Well groomed, very beautiful and serene.

Bon Iver at M3f Music festival one week. Chinese heritage the next. It’s great! Well maintained and safe.

Great park with area to walk and run. The main problem is the homeless population. They dont seem dangerous but the play areas and water features are not functioning due to problems related.In fact when we were walking through the park volunteers were there handing out lunch which would lead one to believe it is an ongoing issue.Great design and things to offer, hopefully it can be fully functional in the future.

A beautiful place to visit indeed! It is easy to miss this park since it sits below the bridge. I only discovered it upon getting off the train to take pics of the flags I had always seen upon my passing. Though hidden, it is still a great locational companion ( if such a phrase exists) to the famous Burton Barr Library.It has an awesome track for jogging, biking, skating, taking a relaxing walk, and plenty of sitting area for reading a good book as well. Sitting area can either be on the grass or the plenty of chairs placed bear the north side of the park.Margaret T Hance Park has a full childrens park as well and the entire grounds near it are good for them to run around as well, in plain sight of parents and guardians.What most surprised me about this park is that it had a volleyball play area with net, beach sand, and even chairs nearby to sit back and watch the game. I was intrigued indeed to see that people actually came out to play full force.The downside to this park that one needs to be aware of is the homeless population that passes through and sometimes camp out at the park. Most do not bother anyone and are just there to rest, but my last visit there I came across a few suspicious activity bear the bathroom area. I believe they were doing drugs and two women seemed to have just washed up there. The bathroom was filthy so if you must use the washroom go to the Burton Barr library for theirs are almost always cleaner. And do not send your children to the bathroom by themselves as a safety precaution. I mention this because I see this all too often and I do not think it us wise.Overall, the place us beautiful and makes for excellent pictures abd relaxation.

Lovely park with tea place right around the corner. Very welcoming staff.

Cute little park! Thats all it is though, very straightforward. Like an oversized backyard . Quiet, peaceful and fairly well kept. We had a pleasant afternoon here.

I personally love this park. The architecture of the Burton Barr Library extends around the park and creates an atmosphere that is totally unique. The Arches underneath the roads, The Fountains, though I wish they were full more often. A lot of skaters, a lot of homeless people, but they dont bother me. I really kind of dig the chill Community atmosphere around the library, nice grass, usually pretty clean, makes a great event venue. Highly recommend. Five stars

Beautifulllllll and a nice place to come and relax and take your kids & pets.

Beautiful park. The only bad thing was being approached by someone who asked inappropriate questions in my run early this morning. Otherwise everyone was friendly. Lots of leashed dogs.

This park has amazing features and potential. Great events at this park. The library is huge with tons of staff and things to do. Only issue is the homeless population. The mental health and the substance abuse on this property is huge. Be safe heading to this park at all hours.

The park itself was very nice. It is near another park which is the Japanese friendship garden. It is very nice and spacious when no events are going on. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for good areas for extra circular activities.

Beautiful park... acres of outdoor space.

Nice place to hang out with the kids, there is a playground and they can ride bikes. Beautiful sunsets! Restrooms are really neglected though, probably due to homeless people.

Theres plenty of parking spots for this park. The park consists of a concrete loop that loops around a large grassy area, and this loop is connected by a sidewalk that leads up to the parking lot and the dog park.Walking from there, you see the ramadas. For some reason though, they were locked. After that, you see the playground. The playground was reasonably large but it did not have as much of the updated equipment that you see in other playgrounds. From there, you stroll past a sand volleyball court.On the far end of the loop, there is a sandy area with world flags flying in front of a bridge. Under that bridge, I spotted a lot of homeless folks. As you continue the loop, you pass by the fenced off Japanese Garden on your left. It took about 15 minutes to complete the circular loop.The only other thing that kind of a downside is some of the owners were letting their large dogs run around without a leash. They were well-mannered but it was a bit scary.

We definitely had a blast at the AZ fall festival. There were tons of food trucks and vendors. We even strolled down towards the dog park and found a fundraiser decorating the dog statues.Overall a really great park that was easy to access.

Having an outside mtg...but had hard time hearing with the construction going on....

Nice park for dogs and kids. Bathrooms available as well. Not much shade so wear sunscreen.

This isnt the kind of park that is in the pamphlet. The friendship garden is supposed to be a series of fountains, but is as dry as the surrounding desert. The sprinklers, on the other hand, come on during the hottest part of the day. There isnt much shade to be found in the main park, and there are only a very few drinking fountains. No dog park for the furry friends, though. It is right on the light rail, and near a giant of a public library. Thats about all it has going for it.

I was here for the Phoenix Turkey Trot. Cool park. Had a blast at the run. Really fun Thanksgiving Day event. Probably do it again.

Super peaceful Oasis in the middle of the city. Definitely recommend.

Nice, clean and centrally located in Phoenix. Has a playground for kids and most importantly, dogs can go there too. For those who like a quiet and restful place to contemplate their navel, the Japanese friendship garden is right next door.

Mostly it is an open bowl. Some Greenway and a focal point of flags.

Nice park, entrance is high for the amount of park available. In california that entrance would cover a full acre or two of garden. It is nice that this is nestled in the city however, so for that it’s worth checking out.

Lovely park in the center of Phoenix with the freeway running underneath it, but you dont hear the cars driving through it at all. Easily accessible and close to a lot of business and the main public library. There is a larger than usual homeless population, so be extra cautious, especially if alone at night, but groups during the day shouldnt have a problem, and there are police vehicles frequently passing through

I was here last Sunday for the first time for the Arizona donut Festival seems pretty cool Parks was very nice and I had a great time

Pretty, lots of space to relax or play!

Beautiful experience to celebrate the traditions for Chinese New Year. Dance, food, music and fun for the entire family!

Love seeing shows here, but the other side of the park was awesome for smaller shindigs like we went to. DJ, beer and food trucks. Can’t go wrong.

When will the library open? Park is wonderful.

The Margaret T. Hance Park is absolutely magnificent! This is the park that covers the I-10. When you are driving down the I-10 and go through that really cool tunnel with the amber lights this is what is above your head. This is a very cool park to check out and walk around at.

Visited during the Chinese Culture Festival and it was very nice. Lots of shade and grass.

Relaxing and beautiful place...

Came here for the Chinese new year festival and it was pretty good. The food was great and got some souvenirs.

We were here for the Phoenix Festival of Arts. Tons of tents up, but it was awesome. I look forward to visiting this park in the future. I thought parking would be a total nightmare.... It wasnt half bad for a festival on Sunday morning :)

Great place to hang out with the fam, friends and pets. Very relaxing to just be there. Clean well maintained and worth the drive.

Perfect park for Spring/Fall concerts and grass lounging. Gone to 3 events here and theyre always well timed! Me and the girl had a blast!

Margaret T. Hance park is a great place to go for a stroll, a picnic, even small events. There are a few transients, but if you didnt have a home, Margaret T. Hance Park would be a beautiful place for the moment. Enjoy

I went on a field trip with my mandarin class for the lunar new year and had a blast! I got so many different things and the park itself seems very nice and clean

Go here once a year for the Vegan Festival. Its a park and nothin more unless u like a nice place to take pictures.

The park is great, clean, and very spacious. There are a lot of homeless people under the bridge by the library but they usually keep to themselves and are not the stereotype people paint them out to be.

A large park, right in the heart of PHX. Many events are held here and lots of stuff int the area to do. Ramadas are locked and require reservations. Dog park is closed for different times of the year so check online before you go.

Really cool place, u should check the garden wih ponds but today its closed cz of party venue!

Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Beautiful Park to visit. I would recommend it.

Very nice and green!

Thus event was so miss managed. Long lines and everyone paid to be there never again

Very Relaxing View.

Beautiful park just north of downtown. Lots of room for running, dogs, frisbee, and other activities needing larger space

Really enjoyed Tacolandia here a few weeks ago! Lots of taco vendors, beer and margaritas!! Will definitely be back in 2021!!

Its a koo park for kids and nice and bike for bike rides or walks also connects to the library and spaghetti factory

Not hated ..just in the Middle of renovation.

Great for nice walks, even with construction

It could have been so much more. Thank you real estate developer heading Hance Park Conservancy for retarding progress for years and years and years. You did a perfect job stalling progress and turning away rainmakers from developing funds to improve the park while accomplishing your own agenda.The stars are given for the Irish cultural center and the Japanese Friendship Garden, definitely worthwhile destinations.

Went to the Pie Fest. Not very festive. Not many booths. Slices/pieces were small. By the time I got there many booths had run out of pie. I am a picky eater so I wasn’t surprised that I didn’t want to try most of those that were left. I don’t drink coffee or eat several types of fruit pies. But I did enjoy a potato hash pie and a candy pie.

Beautiful, peaceful park w great views. Some homeless about but didnt bother me.

Great service and delicious food. Cant wait to go again.

It was a place of peace, but now they are doing something else to it

Nice park to take a walk. And a library close to it too.

It gets give stars when it is completed with its construction.

I love that Park its nice and relaxing

Nice park with a playground. The Japanese garden is located here.

Beautiful Park with amenities for dogs and children. Also has public toilets. You will find a lot of festivals and happenings at this park as well, such as the Fall Festival last weekend and the upcoming Pizza Festival and Doughnut Festival and so many, many more!

Awesome big park downtown next to japenses friendship garden. And on top of the I10 tunnle.

Great place for festivals! Dog park here. Close to the library and restaurants.

When to the bash show and what a great place to have it!!! And it was a great show!
