Its Beautiful and very Peaceful. Very Family oriented. Plus You can walk or jog around the Park /Lake one time and get a full workout.Grab a fishing pole because theres plenty of fish in the pond (not the dating app LOL).They also have lots of sporting events held there as well.Do you have a Dog no problem. They have the Best Dog Park I have ever seen. And I dont have a Dog . Its an Awesome Park to go to any day if the week.

First time coming here. Area is maintained & this mini lake is huge. Lots of room to fish, go for a run or talk an easy walk. Couple folks were even on rollerblades cruising around. Has a nice play area for children too. There was a hobo sleeping on top of one of the benches when we first arrived. He stayed there for a couple hours watching my family fish & eventually left.

Beautiful park,large and spacious. Man made lake, aquatic center and workout stations. Basketball court, soccer field and a volleyball court. Really cool two way walkway/ biking lanes. Ducks,fish and birds oh my! You can actually fish at the lake with a fishing license. Great playground and plenty of space to run around.

This is one of our favorite parks...there is a carousel, a great train ride around the entire park, 2 playgrounds, tons of grass to run around or have a picnic in, a museum with a tour through real train cars, and an amazing building dedicated to model trains with themed sections, touch-activated attractions, and awesome additions for the holidays.

Absolutely Lovely Place. Wonderful Vista Views of Man-made Lakes and Grassy Knowls. Climbing Structures for Kids of all ages and even a really nice skate park hidden away near the south end of it. It goes on for a few miles along Hayden south from Chaparral. If youre in downtown Scottsdale you should go visit. Its one of the nicest Quietest spots in the Area. And a great place to meet great people. Dog people are the best people and the dog park there is the nicest in the city.LoveNAZ Always,The Doctor

While this is a nice park, it does have a few annoyances such as persistent construction and a lack of shaded areas. But, the dog park is a good one and has separate areas for active and passive pups. The main attraction is the baseball complex which is nearly pristine.

Beautiful park in the middle of the city of Scottsdale. The landscaping is gorgeous and there are always people walking their dogs and enjoying the outdoors. Parking can be a challenge but its worth the wait.

We come here for the dog park located near the north end. It is one of my favorites that weve been to! They have two seperate off leash areas, one for passive and one for active dogs.and there is a TON of space for pur pupper to run around. There are normally a lot of other dogs here as well of all sizes!

Got these great pics in one evening’s visit. came here to feed the duckies with our little ones. Avoided “germ city” aka the playground, But, kids still had a blast riding their scooters on the trail around the lake. Stopped a few times, fed the ducks, watched fishers fish & said hi to all the pets being walked. Clean, Great place, great views, great location.

Great park with nice views from any angle. If you have kids from ages 2 to 10, then is a great playground for your kids. This park has appropriate size monkey bars and slides for kids. It also has a carousel swing. Not many parks have this type of swing for kids.

This is one of the best parks located in Scottsdale off of Chaparral and Hayden. The scenery and atmosphere makes you feel energized to partake on the workout stations along the path that interconnects with other parks along Hayden Road.

Well there that it made it uncomfortable that there were so many homeless people in the park that they had to weld shut the bathrooms. We had a good time they have a basketball court that have a lake with ducks that have a handball court they have a park for the children with swing a seesaws and they have a soccer field that has an arena around it with a stand and yet theres so many homeless people that no one can use the bathroom in the park without using a tree so that makes the Points bad but everything else there is just so many resources that are so good if we could just figure out what to do with the homeless

The park was clean and very professional. Had a blast with my sister and her friends. Wasnt lucky enough to catch a live fish, but its ok. The ducks were amazing. They came really close to me. One tried to eat a chip right out my hand!!! I recommend everybody to come and have a blast with their friends, family, and kids. But remember, if a fish pulls on your rod, pull back. You may be lucky to get one. A live one at that

Nice park! I had an hour to spend here and I was definitely pleased. Plenty of amenities for all and it truly makes for a wonderful family park. Did a bit of fishing as was surprised as to how active the fish were during the time I was there. Didnt land anything to write home about during my hour visit but I did get a few bites from the trout on my spinner and caught a couple small Bluegill. Be back when Im in the area.

First time here and my kiddos LOVED this place. There is a lake they can watch the ducks, a playground with everything from slides to swings to a different version of merry-go-round to hand-eye coordination monkey bars. There are plenty of benches and grills with picnic tables and a basketball court, volleyball nets. Dog friendly. You can do almost anything here!!

I have friends that really like eating here, so I go. I am not a fan of Chicago pizza. Not because of the taste or the ingredients, or spices. I am not a fan of the toppings under the cheese. I think it is a dumb reason, but my reason none the less. The wings are very good and other appetizers are great as well. If you like Chicago style pizza - you will really like this place.

It has a great ark for the kids. A lovely duck park. An exercising walk path with equipment to work out on and a path for people to walk their dogs. It has tables for celebrations of all kinds and clean bathrooms with actual soap to wash your hands in with plenty of toilet paper. This park is amazing.

I take my boys here to play basketball. Its not typically crowded so they have plenty of space for a fun game. During winter months when it gets dark early the court is not well lit. There is usually a light or two out over the court that does not work. It doesnt bother my teen and tween sons but it would be nice if they worked well.
