Reviews
"I love this place so so very nice. And quiet as well. Not a lot of people there. Actually no one besides us at 430 in the afternoon. No splash pad but those mist fountains were a blast. Hit a button and they will run for two minutes or so but you can hit them all day if you want. I took pics of everything."
"Great playground for young kids! However, there appears to be street people living in the park. Unlocked restrooms with electric outlets and outdoor outlets is a draw! Sad, appears Scottsdale PD is not enforcing the 10:30 PM to dawn closed rules and street people are still congregating until 9AM or so in park."
"This park's hours are sunrise to 10:30pm, so sorta variable during the year. It has a nice botanical gardens style walking trail to enjoy. The basketball court is great and really well lit by a timer switch you can control at night. As other people have said the splash pad is a no go as fun play area for kids, more of a mist system on some rocks. There are also some ramadas with picnic tables, a playground set, and public restrooms."
"Pictures show a splash pad but there is absolutely nothing here that even remotely resembles a splash pad. Cute little Park but we drove here to play in a splash pad not play at the park."
"Good playground, desert walking path, and small grassy area. We went there for the splash pad. The list of splash pads for the city had this park on it. What a joke. This is not a splash pad. If you are looking for one, do not go here. Other than that, it is a clean cute park."
