Great park with lots of open space for playing sports or running with your dog. Unfortunately there are people that think they shouldnt have to pick up their dogs poop. They dont realize it would be a field of poop if every dog owner was like that.

Lovely park; however there is only ONE bench. Seriously, one. It’s a walkers/joggers park but don’t expect to sit and enjoy a sunrise or sunset.

A great location to have your dog make doggy friends and play. Its clean and overall very peaceful too. People weve seen here are friendly as well. In the winter the grass looks yellow like in the picture but its green the rest of the year. See you there!

It’s kind of an interesting park to be honest with you. I’m used to a park having a playground with some land, restrooms, water fountain, benches, pavilions to sit under. It might even have a basketball court or soccer goal. This is just a huge big open field. It would be a marvelous place, if you’ve got kids, for them to run around safely. Great place for a soccer or baseball game. Home run derby or frisbee. Bring your youth group to for an outside outing. It does have a nice walking path, to get from one side to the other.

Nice cricket ground. Outfield is a little bit slow but surroundings are good. You can park the car road side, there is no toilet facility.

Turtle rock is one of Phoenixs great unknown parks. It rarely has more than a couple people but there is lots of room to stretch out. No picnics tables. No kids playground. And only one seat in the middle. Otherwise, a lovely park where Ive spent dozens of hours enjoying the sunshine!

Fun place to take the dogs. Parking is easy its easily located. It very well cared for. Theres lots of trash cans for dog stuff. I have yet to see it over flowing with people its typically lightly used for its size. You can make great use of the abundant space for training or playing with your dog.

Excellent area and nice people, first time there. Talked to some other dog owners, both were from out of state. But I enjoy the park, definitely recommend!

This is a great park. Plenty of room for walkers, runners, and even a group preparing for football season. Very low key, well maintained. I visit this park with my dog on a daily basis.

What you see is what you get. No play equipment for the little ones, no picnic benches or anything like that. But I will say this it is very clean and if your looking to just lay down in the grass and watch the sunrise or the sunset this is the place to go! Friendly neighborhood and very quiet.

A small peaceful park. Nice for a stroll. Is somewhat pretty. Usually looks better than the pictures. A few benches. Feels somewhat secluded. Good for walking dogs. Not often overly busy. No, sorry no bathroom to speak of .

This is actually a very nice park if you need lots of open space. I do wish they had a dog park here for the apartments near by. It would be perfect.

Review №28

Definitely a nice park to walk your dog or go Pokémon hunting. I buried my tortoise here if you find a tortoise shaped rock you have found him. His name is taco. Please let him rest. Oh and dont go to this park at night Ive heard gun shots.

Situated between living communities on all sides, this park is a serene place to unwind. Upkeep is good, with several trash and recycling receptacles placed around the park. Being out of the way as it is, there isnt much going on but that is perfectly alright as in the urban sprawl, its nice to keep a little bit of nature present just a short walk away.

I take my dog there everyday for a walk. Its a very nice park, it is very well maintained. It is a Gathering Place for other people walking their dogs and it is safe for ladies.

Wish they would put a cement walkway up to the Trellis gate. Fell in the rocks tonight :(They do a great job with the upkeep of this park. Only trash is what the homeless leave when they are camping out.

Large, clean, grassy park thats great for running, walking, dogs etc. Can be a homeless hangout at night but its wide open during the day.

Review №46

There is a field here with insufficient lights for night-time play. There are paths that lead across the park from East to West. The path to the south meets a brick wall. and The water fountain in the middle never works well. The path from the South and the path from the East have hills that are just steep enough that it is fun to ride a wheeled vehicle down them. There is no playground here. Since many people use this as a dog park then youre likely to find dog poop in the grass.
