Cane from out of town and these multipurpose paths are amazing. Similar to back home, San Antonio, these pathways are a bit more wider and people friendly as well.

The lake is beautiful, but the real hidden gem is the (free!) art exhibit inside the theater. They have rotating artists and the desk clerk was so kind and informative. It only takes a moment of time, and she said sometimes the artists make appearances. Worth checking out if you haven’t seen it!

This place is so relaxing. A beautiful evening of gentle water flow and ambient lighting. Fantastic place to unwind and enjoy a bike ride, stroll, and/or jog. Always neat and clean and during summer can also rent canoes/kayaks for boating adventures. People are friendly, and its good vibes whenever we go. There are different access sides to the lake so there is a choice according to which side you enter at. One side bathrooms and kayaking most prevalent, and the other is more of a beach front fishing pier type of atmosphere. There are restrooms located on both sides, which are maintained and clean. I really enjoy afternoon park festivities as they are both family friendly and entertaining.

Nice park with lots of things to play with for small kids. The water park is also good that kids can play for an hour.

I always love going here, for several reasons. You can exercise, there is a water plat pad for those of yall with kiddos. At night the light rail is lit up and is fun to see and watch the reflection on the water. I love the old tressel train track that is still used. The smell of the tresses and loud clatter of a real train. Did you know you can bike ride, run and walk the green belt in Scottsdale all the way down into Tempe and around the lake?! There are nearby businesses to rent paddle boards. You can sail scull and outrigger. Dont forget about fishing as well. Just enjoy water and distress

Love the lake, just wish we could swim!

Great park, good place to see animals and birds in nature. The walking trail is easy to use and you see ducks, geese, squirrels, prairie dogs and rabbits. Lots more check it out for yourself.

Great place to spend time with your family and friends. Weve had birthday parties, picnics, and walks at Rio Salado Park for a number of years. I visit the park at least 2 to 3 times a month. Its a routine that my youngest daughter and I will remember for a lifetime.

The “Rope Tower” is the best thing for ppl of all ages with a love for climbing! It’s very versatile and they always keep up maintenance! The playgrounds are colorful and very interactive with different things that appeal for a wide range of age. The little water park is also a treat if you wanna cool down but don’t wanna spend tons of money. All in all a wonderful park and my absolute favorite. Whether you want to walk along the scenic routes, play in the jungle gym, or jump in some puddles in the water area. There’s something for everyone

Its a beautiful area and wonderful for a afternoon walk! I live in Chandler but I still do it about once a month!

Beautiful place to enjoy breeze and have a small picnic. You can also go boating or

Great walking loop area, you can go for a run, bike or any of the water sports

Nice park. The city of Tempe does a great job at keeping the park maintained.

Sunsets abound! Go here if you see wispy clouds in the afternoon and you are guaranteed a magnificent sunset overlooking the lake and the new gorgeous State Farm buildings!

Always a great place to walk, run and people watch. We rode scooters on this trip and enjoyed the views of the lake.

Good place for watersports just in the middle of the town!

Great place to jog during the day or late night. There is always a lot of people to feel safe to jog by yourself. Just homeless over crowd the facilities.

Beautiful area but not sprayed enough to keep down bugs. Bring mosquito repellent or expect a LOT of bug bites. Great place for long walks, bike riding, or to just sit on the many park benches & enjoy the scene. Sometimes events are scheduled at the Tempe town lake parks or boating in the man made lake.

Wonderful park along w Tempe Lake Park

Great place to walk, jog, cycle or just hanging out with friends and family. I usually go there to watch Sunsets.

Fantastic place to walk around and take a break.Great views of planes landing.

Beautiful design, the buildings and the waterway work together very well. Lots of diverse companies though State Farm takes up a majority of the corporate offices. Several good restaurants and mini marts. Plus Starbucks of course.

Always a good time here and at night the views are great, also on the north side on Fridays they have a decent car meet so thats a plus.

Very beautiful area on the water. Great place to walk, fish, sit, play pokemon... absolutely loved it!

Best paddleboarding place in town.

Really great park work bike areas and places to hang out.

Nice peaceful walking around the lake.

I inline skate at Rio Salado Park. The sidewalk by the lake is great for skating. There are a lot of people walking, running and riding bicycles. It is nice to have a safe place to exercise. You can connect to the green belt from the park as well.

Easily one of the best places in Tempe. Its just nice to have the view of downtown Tempe across the lake. Especially beautiful at night.

Really nice place to walk around and enjoy the Tempe Lake and the weather. Walking biking skating. Art center is really nice inside. Good place for the family, Date or just hanging out. A separate organization does a beautiful 9/11 Memorial. Its to bad Tempe charges them fees and taxes as we found out. It left a bad taste in our minds if this is true. This is a non for profit organization supports all that passed saving our citizens to airline passengers. I would of gave five stars if I didnt hear that part.

I dont have words to describe this place! Is really beautiful! I mean Arizona is a desert and this place with water and the facilities for go for a walk and all this activity is really awesome!

Went there on a nice evening for a photowalk. Its a pleasant place by the lake and a nice break from the asphalt. At night the lights are very pretty on the water.

My absolute favorite park within a 25 mile radius! This would have been the park only a child with a healthy imagination could have imagined up! Came on a Tuesday around 2pm and the place had a perfect number of children and parents joining in on the fun & the playground aquipment. My boys had a chance to take their time and really decide what to play on next, without the hassle of other kids jumping ahead in line. A definite park for visitors and people from out of town. On January 31st @ 2pm in Arizona without a cloud in sight and the sun shining, it was a perfect AZ afternoon to experience!

First time to check out the waterfront park. Parking is available at the park off of Gilbert drive. Worth the trip to look at the new buildings and the waterfront. The park offers rentals and there were paddle board rentals at a vendor in a building along the park. Folks were learning how to sail using one person dinghys which was also pretty interesting.

One of the beat places in the valley. Great for public events, a nice stroll, pictures and more. Also one of the only pedestrian bridges that crosses a body of water in the valley.

Great early morning walk and workout for the family

Beautiful well lit walkway along rio Salado. Wonderful night lights!

Perfect place to end a long work day!

Wonderful needs more shade trees.

The view is amazing! Its a great place to hang out with your family and friends.

Fun place to spend time and to rent a kayak or SUP.

Awesome place, just loved it. I had scheduled a meeting with my high school friend over here on a fine evening of hot summer day, but the place was magical, the lake/river brings in a cool breeze along with it and just makes the feel so good. I would always go to this place just to sit and ponder, especially on a hot summer day. Also, they have enough parking spaces, so you would never have to worry about paying for it as well.

Its a nice place to go to if you wish to unwind and relax

An Amazing park, I Love it!! Perfect for a walk, run, walking your dog, or even for a night out, Beautiful view at night!!

Kids love it but there are not too many equipment options for the baby to play on.

Gorgeous, well maintained park, very safe and patrolling police officers are a daily prescience.

Love this place. We rented bikes. The rent boats. Cement walkway and grassy areas.

Best park Ive been to. Lots of cool and unconventional playground equipment, plus a splash pad for kids. The only downside is that because the playground is unconventional, there are more ways for your kid to fall and get hurt.

Love it here

1st time kayaking, used a Groupon so price was grear. Super friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be returning.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere, and I found what I was looking for, mostly. Its a dynamic place with quality shopping. But on a Monday evening, it was pretty empty, which made me sad.

Just a great place to walk and see the sites. Goes along the Salt river Tempe dam and towers.

My favorite place nice views

Great park, the parks department keeps it very clean and tidy, and the lake is beautiful. I sail on it, and while the wind isnt great, I appreciate the marina and the docks that are easily accessible

We actually went to Tempe Center for the arts for the 80th anniversary concert celebrating blue note records. It was great

Enjoyed my walk through the lake.

Just went there again today wonderful Park. Many areas for parties for kids walking biking jogging

Rustic and nice. Very hot as is expected, but getting around is easy and the hotels in the vicinity are quite nice. Lovely and easily accessible restaurants.

Great atmosphere and lots if beauty

You will find a lot of homeless in night, there is no activity to do just walking, it’s nice to hang out

Great place to kayak rent a boat. Great bike paths too.

Nice lake. Nice view. Good walk. Judt be careful with the dead animals or bats at night but definetly a must see in the area of Tempe

Its not too bad. Never had a problem with crime, although there is a lot of homeless. The path is wide and theres usually people out til late. Lots of concerts and events held here. The foot trail extends for miles and miles in both directions.

Such a nice place to walk around at night!

Love it so much!! Great place to chill. My dog loved it there.

Very big playgroud. The Splash Pad is gated which is very helpful with little ones.

Nice place to bring out of town guests or to simply take a walk

Dr Lohrman is on top of her game. So professional, very knowledgeable, and runs on schedule. What more could you ask for?

Great park that allows biking from Tempe Lake to North Scottsdale.

Excellent exercise area along the Salt River. Rental scooters and bikes available.

My favorite spot to relax

My sister had her wedding photos here its so pretty and peaceful

Cool place to walk. Went there with my wife, she enjoyed too. Nice place to getaway from phoenix heat and enjoy cool breeze from the lake.

Beautifully located, right in Tempe. My son and I visited while in town for a campus visit. We were there around sunset. If youre looking for a park with that romantical ambiance. This is most definitely the place.

Beautiful to go at night with all the lights. Take your camera.

Love it a lot of bunches many hearts for this park full of arts

Nice place to walk and enjoy the lake view. Plenty of parking and restaurants within a mile. Its quite relaxing to actually get some cardio done here especially in the morning at sunrise.

Very beautiful. Could use some benches.

Amazing park. Lots of places to play, to walk and/or bike ride, and even places to go fishing! Our favorite park that weve found, thus far!

I used to love this place, but not anymore. Its full of scooters and people ride them like maniacs. Its not safe for children or people. I hope they regulate riding scooters and bikes at the park. At least give them a side or a place to ride them, for their safety and others too.

Awesome walk around the Tempe town lake.

Love this awesome park!! We come here often because there is something for everyone!

Nice park straight across from Walmart great place to picnic in the summer. great water park. great playground. Nice water area in bridges to walk over. near the baseball park close access to the 101 in the 202. One of my favorite parks to go to.

Awesome place to walk, jog, ride a bike, fish, rent out boats to go onto Tempe Town Lake..Just love the area so much...takes your mind off of other things and lets you feel at ease

Must go at sunset ABSOLUTELY stunning views!!!! You can rent paddle boards. Paddle boats, and kayaks. Dont forget to rent a scooter for about 10 bucks per hour you can make it around the lake and enjoy stops along the way!!!

Its nice in the middle of crazy city, since there is kios all around, just not enough parking.

I really love this place in Tempe, AZ. Is such a relaxing park, you walk, Tun, bike, scooter or just relax.

This park looks so cool at night!

The homeless camps add a rustic touch to the look.

Love the park. Great place to light hike and see the Phoenix area from a from rocky hills. Can be crowded at times and bikes share trails. Good amount of trash has been built up recently. Beyond the mess its a beautiful place.

We spent the afternoon kayaking! Was amazing and peaceful:)

Not much to see in the summer

One of my favorite places in Tempe. Beautifully lit at night.

Good place to bike ride and take a walk during the evening...relaxing place to hangoit

The horseradish mustard dipping sauce for the hot pretzels is.....life altering. Head on my Guinness was almost perfect. Inside or out its a really nice pub.

Really nice park! Fun and unique attractions for the kids to play on and big grassy areas to sit with several benches scattered across a walkway.There are a few ramada, but they are not that big. Could use better parking

Love to go bike riding, skating or go on the pedal boats

Quiet & tranquil especially @ 0530 am. Great way to unwind & get in a bit of exercise as the world wakes up around you.

Beautiful venue. Saw Man of La Mancha with Peter Solari (thank you VetTix and Tempe Performing Arts Center), it was a fabulous show in a gorgeous setting.

I very much enjoy going on evening walks through this area. Also great for family picnics and pijemon hunting.
