Awesome park, but would like to see the pond taken care of as well, cleaned of derbies, plastic, plastic bottles and dead catfish, unless its good for turtles. There are ducks of variety and guesses. So also to see the restrooms up graded to standard, they did the purpose but need a make over.

This park is what public parks across Phoenix should look to for an example what an exceptional park looks like. It has almost everything The only thing that missing is perhaps a Frisbee Golf course or something of that circuit training nature. Some of its excellent features include public Tennis Courts, Swimming pool, baseball field, soccer fields, basketball ball courts, huge sand lot play area for children a fishing pond that stocks 5 species of fish that one could catch and take home for dinner(with appropriate fishing license of course). The pond itself is also a place where various migrating birds stop by on their journey South for the winter. Always fun to feed the Ducks, Geese and other species,when there. Definitely worth taking some time to visit and unwind.

My favorite park. Beautiful scenery with so much to offer. Pool, playground, baseball, walking, running, volleyball, basketball, picnics, bbq, tennis, farmers market on weekends and a beautiful pond with wildlife. I was worried moving to Paradise Valley, thinking it would be snobby. Everyone I’ve encountered on my walks through the park have been friendly. The culture is diverse. The park is clean and very safe, even at night.

Park is very nice. Nice pond with geese, ducks and pigeons. Lots of green grass. Unfortunately half the people were not wearing masks, nobody at the farmers market was socially distancing even though the tents were setup apart from each other. And lots of people had dogs off of the leash.

Very dog-friendly park with walking trails around and through. Fishing pond (must have license), ducks, tennis, soccer, swimming pool, and more. Great place to meet up with friends to walk.

It was a nice park. The only thing I found bad was the grass was a little dry, the play ground was a little sun damaged, and one of the slides were blocked off causing my child to hit his head. So I will give this park 3 stars .

Please drain the lake & clean it!! Its pretty grossThe dead trees need some attention too. The bathrooms are about 20 yrs overdue for remodeling! And your West pool is getting algae growthBUT still my favorite local park with 40 yrs of memories there!

Beautiful, busy but not too busy. Lots to do including tennis playing. Courts open early 5:30. Large areas to walk and play, fly kite, watch birds, ducks and geese, watch people play, watch dogs pay and work. Everyone friendly but staying socially distanced be prepared to wear masks. Great space.

Roadrunner Park has everything you for a fun morning or evening. We visited the park in the early morning to walk the dog and we were pleasantly surprised that the park has dog poop bags and lots of garbage cans for the waste. While walking the perimeter, we saw multiple soccer fields, baseball fields, basketball courts, six tennis courts, three pools, a lake, playgrounds, and tons of gazebos.Parking was easy with many spots along the perimeter.

Nice Clean park went fishing with my brother and our boys didn’t see any old line or hooks laying around so that was nice. The only thing I don’t like is that you can see directly into the men’s bathroom from the children’s jungle gym and the stalls inside don’t have doors( disturbing ) call me crazy but I think they should have put up some sort of partition wall at the entrance

Very beautiful. Wide sidewalk that is good for strollers and bikes. Theres a fishing pond that you can not swim in but theres two pools that are open to public swimming. Theres catfish and trout in the pond. On the sidewalk two boys carved their names in 1982. Two people named Pam and Finn also wrote their names in the wet cement in 1977. Very nostalgic park.

Awesome park with large grass areas that are surrounded by mature trees, which provide nice shade. Roadrunner park has baseball and soccer fields, basketball and tennis courts, play ground, waking path, community pool, BBQ ramadas with picnic tables, and small pond with ducks. Ultimately it has something for everyone and is well maintained by Phoenix Park and Rec.

The park itself is great. Plenty of activities, a farmers market, playground, even a pool (with limited availability in normal times). Parking can get nasty though. Also, often, the restrooms can make you go oof. So if thats one of your deal breakers, be aware

Upon my arrival to this park to fish we noticed a smell looking into the water we found a few dead fish...after walking around theeee entire pond 35 counted fish were dead washed up to shore. The unknown number for the fish that are floating in the middle of the pond someone needs to help these animals this is beyond sad and dangerous please someone help fix this!!!! The ducks alone are roughed up and look beaten only time will tell when ducks start dying..... Wow wow wow.... Fish between 4 inches to nearly 16 inches dead

Review №67

Nice, comfortable park, with a duck pond, a playground, volleyball and basketball courts, and a reasonable amount of space. They have bathroom facilities (I did not go in, myself). I might not spend more than an hour there, without bringing stuff to do with me, but its an all together well-rounded park. Id rate it 8 or 9 out of 10. Aside from a potential lack of shade, it would be a great spot for a picnic.

This is a decent park overall.Although the kids area is a little older and out of date compared to other parks. They have several fields for different sporting events. Basketball, soccer fields, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, even a pool.The main highlight is a great farmers market on Saturdays. The vendor are friendly and its a great way to get your fresh fruit and vegetables. I recommend bring the dogs out for a good walking as well.Parking can be a bit tough though and needs to be addressed. Also the bathrooms need to be renovated badly. There are no doors on the stalls, or entrance that looks into the kids area is disturbing and are frquently missing toilet paper.I love this park and have been coming here for many years, but it needs an overhaul to accommodate the people.

This is nice clean park. Has a huge pond which have ducks and saw a turtle once! Great park to do a nice walk. I think if you follow the sidewalks in the park its lil over a mile of walking. Trees for shade and some picnic areas too. It also has a pool open during the summer and tennis courts. Also have a farmers market every Saturday!

This is my go-to spot for Pokemon Go Community Days. It has 16 pokestops and 4 gyms. If youre not there for Pokemon, there is a playground for children, a large duck pond for licensed catch-and-release fishing, two baseball diamonds, a soccer field, shaded seating areas for gatherings, tennis courts that are relatively well kept for being outdoors, a swimming pool, sand volleyball court, and probably more that Im forgetting. There is also a great farmers market held every Saturday until around 2pm. I always see lots of people walking their dogs, and most of them are good about picking up after them. Parking can get congested during sports events and while the farmers market is going, but usually its fine. Great park and free to enjoy.
