Love this park. Always rent the ramada for the day. Affordable and reasonable. Lots of space for the kids to run around, play area and a lake to fish or rent paddle boats.

Kiwanis is an amazing park. Even with the playground closed, there is still alot you can do here. I always get a great workout in and the kids have plenty of space to play and/or relax

We love this park!! The wildlife is awesome!It’s a great place to have a picnic or grill and have dinner. We love taking morning and evening walks. Very safe place. I like seeing the catch and release fishing too.

Its huge so even though it looked packed with people based on cars there, everyone was able to stay pretty well dispersed. Wish the splash pad was open for my daughter and the playground near the splash pad was a bit worn down, but other than that I enjoyed the late afternoon with my daughter.

The basketball court is too dusty to be playable. The overall park is really nice and chill though.

This is a beautiful park to walk, jog, skate, and bike around. It’s huge and has multiple paths you can take, as well as stunning views at sunset. The lake is peaceful and it’s also got a playground for kids. I would definitely recommend this place if you have a day to relax

They had great toys for kids 2 to 12 years of age. (I had kids 10,7,4) They had big tall twisty slides Very fun I had never seen slides that tall at a public park before the kids loved it! So much to explore, in every corner.They had a awesome sand pit with a backhoe type tool that the kids could use to dig! Big hit!

I called 2x this morning and with both times combined I was on hold for 26 min. I called at 9:31am and 9:53! I hope this review is seen and they go look at the times and call me back and ill take down this review. I never got to speak to a real a person. I have driven up to kiwanis 2x just to find out splash pad was still closed spite kiwanis showing open online. All Im trying to do is not haul 4 kids down there just for it to be closed! Im not a complicated customer I just needed a simple answer. Like I guess they just dont care about moms and kids getting to play for their well being. And if someone saw my call and had that attitude (Im not answering your call) youre and should be fired.

They have tennis, swimming, basketball, and baseball cages. I could see the swimming pools, they looked good, and I played on the tennis courts. Theyre top notch with score keeper devices on the courts, and even cameras that you can activate via a mobile app if you wanted to review your playing later. My only gripe was that it was $14 to rent a court for 1.5 hours on a Sunday (was during prime time hours apparently, normally $11).

Kiwanis Park is wonderful for families, centrally located, close to the freeway and easy to explore on Google maps and Google Earth. Picnic ramadas for groups or large lawns for a blanket and hamper. Lots of parking, playgrounds, grass fields for sports AND birdwatching on the lake. Dont forget a proper local or state permit if you fish. Be ready for crowds in nice weather.

Its a great place to come and relax. As long as youre not afraid of homeless people. Who, by the way, are harmless. It has bathroom facilities, plenty of picnic tables and the lake is relaxing. Honestly, its my boyfriend and my favorite place to go and relax.

Highly recommend this place. Family of 4, and we could come here 3 times for the cost of one trip to the bigger water parks. Wave pool is great and there is plenty of seating. Kids liked the slide. Snack bar prices very reasonable and give you a ton of food. Two kids couldve split one chicken strips meal which is like 6 bucks. Definitely try this place.

Review №51

They have been told many times that the womens locker rooms ONLY have cold showers. The only HOT shower is the family/disabled restroom up front. I went for a shower and even though it was the middle of December; and yet still hadnt taken care of the water temp. In the locker room, they still tried to make me go in and take a cold shower. All because I have no family with me and I am NOT VISIBLY disabled. The entire staff is extremely discriminatory, mainly towards the homeless. I refuse to frequent this location. The City of Tempe should be ashamed of themselves.

An INCREDIBLE multi-use park for all ages.We watched my daughter-in-law play softball last night on a team of friends and family. There are multiple lighted ball fields, volley ball area, soccer, and a pond for canoeing and pedal boating (I was told they offer rentals) along with bike rentals. Very family friendly with clean bathroom facilities.

This is a great summer activity for kids! For the third year we have bought season passes 4 are now 9 year old, 10 year old, and teenagers. The passes are very reasonable price and kids with passes get free rafts on Monday and Tuesday. Swimming is healthy and wholesome activity and I know the kids are safe there, watched over by the pool lifeguards. Coin op rated lockers are available as well as snacks, and the cups they received with their passes earned them $1 drinks. Our boys love it.

This is one of my favorite places to take the kids the splash pad alone is amazing its new so not too many people know about it but theres enough people there that the kids always have someone to play with I love the Thunder effect making it sound like a storm is coming also the inside pool is very amazing the people are very helpful open swim being during the summer helps with something to do for the kids and the big lake to walk around and feed the Ducks is just super cute overall I would say that Kiwanis Park is one of my favorite in the Phoenix area

I grew up going to this Park, and let me tell you - it is still one of the most stellar-best Parks that Tempe has to offer! You can do just about every Park celebration from: Family BBQS, Volleyball, Baseball, Soccer, Childrens Playground, Basketball, Power-walking, Jogging, Canoeing, and even small-sport Fishing! My favorite thing to do as a child at this park was sliding down the hills atop of a cardboard box, or going to the wreck center Wave Pool! Kiwanis Recreation Center is a hometown CLASSIC, no doubt!

Its a nice clean place and a lot of fun. We had a private birthday party there and the negatives are that the allowed time is strictly limited and the slide isnt great and only open part of the time. Also waves are more intense and frequent that you may expect so some kids were (at first) taken back a bit... Staff is friendly.
